Letting The Cat Out of Pandora's Box

For some time now, the Mister and I have been considering the number of trips we make to town and back in a week a bit tiresome. On an average week between the two of us, we make between 9 and 11 trips. In the summer they're 35 minute trips and in the winter 45 minute trips, one way. The road is crappy for the first 20 minutes. That's somewhere in the neighbourhood of 10 -12  hours of driving in an average week, if we get invited somewhere for dinner add another hour of driving. 

During the course of those drives, we saw a house, over the years, that we both thought looked really nice, and was less than 5 minutes drive from town. We often said, maybe when we're ready to move closer to town it'll go up for sale. It did. We bit the bullet last week and went to our friendly realtors and had them arrange a showing. We both really liked it. So after pondering it for a few days we decided, to list our house and keep our fingers crossed. The idea of a short little jaunt to town is so appealing.

So there you have it, the cat's out of the Pandora's Box and who knows what's next. I just know that I have an anxious stomach and my house is really clean.
