Why Wyoming? Why would we move? Why....

This seems to be the question everyone asks. Why would we uproot from Ohio where all of our family is from, where we both grew up, where we have a home and jobs, where we have friends and some of the most amazing neighbors... why?

We have been told we are stupid, that this is the worst decision we've ever made, and we've been harassed with questions and judgments.  But thankfully, that only came from a few people!

So why are we doing this?
  • Scott and I both grew up in the country, on farms with land.  Where we live now, we have no land and no room to expand. 
  • We do not enjoy our current living situation.  We live too close to town, the traffic is crazy on our road, we can see into our neighbors yards and even sometimes their windows from within our house (we LOVE our neighbors very much, but we just live too close), our driveway is way too small  with no parking so we always have to do the 'vehicle rodeo'.... etc
  • We dream of having a 4-wheeler and having a purpose for it! 
  • We are outdoorsy and adventurous, and here in Ohio we are so limited with what we can do.
  • We live in this beautiful, amazing world that God created, so why not enjoy it?!  Why not live in a place that takes your breath away everyday!
  • Finally (the list could go ON and ON), why not? This is a decision Scott and I have made for us, for what's best for our family, and for what we want out of life.  It is ok to ask questions, but please keep the negativity and judgments to yourself.  We're happy to share this adventure with you so you can be a part of our adventure too!

We are so excited to get this adventure started and can't wait to call Wyoming home!!
