It's True.....

Gary and I are moving in August.....Sigh. Thats both a good and bad sigh....lol We aren't moving in the truest since of the word. At least I HOPE NOT.....

Many of you know that I have been employed by a wonderful family since Oct of 09. They own two properties in the Forest Hills (Green Hills) area of Nashville. My parents are moving into the secondary property as we speak! A 1819 beauty with 13 acres of wonders :) They are going to be employed as caretakers of this property for the next several years. My boss is over a lab at Vanderbilt and currently lives here in Nashville full time and commutes to California often to see his family. However, in Sept he is moving to his home in Palo Alto and will only be in Nashville one week of every month. He has asked Gary and I to move in to the apartment on the lower level of his home as caretakers until he fully retires and they decide to sell.

Where that leaves us: We havent even been in our first home a year....I have very very mixed emotions about even the thoughts of what this means for us. I want to help my boss out so much. Not to mention living in GH's and being so close to all of my favorite places. However, everytime I think about leaving the house that we are loving trying to make a home breaks my heart. The thoughts of some hooligans renting it and doing GOD only knows what to it is even more heart breaking. Selling is not even an option and is not something we will consider. Our Ideal situation is for my brother Wes to move in with a potential undetermined room mate. (An takers???) This way we could leave behind everything that we simply do not need to live in the apartment for two years......three at the most we think. This makes the whole prospect so so so much more appealing even able to look forward to. Being right up the hill from my parents.....with the pool....lol 

Seriously, I have very very mixed emotions about it right now. All house projects have been put on hold, which makes me sad, but its necessary for the time being...Of course when we move to the apartment I will blog you all through my decorating of that space ;) I also plan to blog about the Historic home and property my parents will be overseeing. So, hang tight...don't leave me just because im not furthering my own home for awhile. I promise I will try to keep your intelligent minds stimulated!  Ha! As if ...right :p

I'll be keeping you posted on this transition....should be happening in August.....

Here are a few photos of the living/dining area of the apartment we will be living in. As it sits now of course...not after ive gotten a hold of it ;)

What do you think?
