Feeling Itchy

I don't know why. Maybe because it's a new year? Because we are laying out our hopes for the future/focusing on the things we want in life?  Maybe because the years seem to pass by quicker the older I get? But I've been feeling like I need a change. Like, a big one. Usually if I'm feeling the need for change, it's because something is going "wrong" or I'm feeling bored and stuck in a rut. But life is pretty sweet. I'm happy. But feel like it's time for the next big thing.

Sometimes the urge is small. A bathroom remodel or selling our bedroom set for something different. But mostly it's big. Like getting a dog, or having a baby (it would be our last), moving, or using the plans we had drawn up and actually building an addition.

For those who really know me, you know that it's kind of huge for me to crave big change. Big change is scary, and I'm pretty much a chicken. Big change is usually a lot to fret over, and I'm pretty much a worrywart. Big change takes faith that it'll all work out, and I've been labeled a pessimist a time or two.

Today we met with the bank to see what it'll take to get a construction loan to build our addition. It's still a bit fuzzy if it's going to be the option we choose, but we are on the right track.

If we don't build, we'll see about moving to a house that better suits our future.

If we build OR move, we'll start talking about that baby.

Whether we build OR move OR neither, we'll be getting a dog within the next year or so. Dang that Miley....She ruined me!
