Two Worlds Colliding

Okay. My parents are seriously considering moving closer to Dusty and me and the girls (mostly the girls ;) ). and I am super excited about it. My mom is alone a lot and I would love to have her close by to go walking with or supper or just to pop over and stuff BUT with them moving here it means that "our" family acreage would be sold and thus meaning that my horses would be homeless. I have been so fortunate that my parents have kept them out there for as long as they have, especially because they hardly get ridden anymore and my mom and dad have had to the upkeep of them. But because of the prospect of the farm being sold I've had to think about what to do with them. I was down to two solutions.

1. sell the horses or at least find them good homes
2. find land to either rent or buy near our house

Well, I don't really WANT to sell them. I feel like I'd be giving up on the dream of that country life that both Dusty and I really wanted to give our kids. Dusty doesn't really want to sell them either. So that left us with the later. Land is extremely expensive where we're located so it was more of a rental situation that we would have to look at. But both of us felt pretty skeptical that we would be able to find pasture that someone would be willing to rent out UNTIL last night we had some company over and it just so happens that one of the gentlemen MIGHT know of someone who would be willing to rent out some pasture. AWESOME. I am so excited.

I'm trying hard not to get my hopes up too high BUT this could mean that I could actually start working and riding my ponies again. I would have the best of both worlds. I have a house in town with town water and sewer and all those lovely amenities PLUS I would have space and freedom and a hobby that I LOVE and really thought I'd have to give up.

Well, I guess time will tell if this will all work out...
