Remember how you wanted a greenhouse and found all your stuff on the side of the road to build it? I think somewhere around 2019? Fun fact: I told my husband that story and he says, “I’m sure it’s not that expensive to buy..” (yes, yes it is husband)….and the day before we were going to go get some supplies, a random guy across the street from our place was piling up some lumber and asked my husband if he wanted it! It wasn’t like a neighbor. It was a guy that was just going to dump it basically. We bought the plastic siding but built your little greenhouse that summer! You made me remember when you were saying to watch for the signs because they are there, and we all go through “things” because they are getting us to where we need to be, only stronger. Made me think of how I met my husband. August 2017 (ish) there was a solar eclipse. I had been wandering around by a lake I lived near, being semi brokenhearted over some guy. Determined he wasn’t going to mess up my mood, I took a walk. After that, I didn’t want to go blind by accidentally looking at an eclipse, I went to my favorite store, the one I’d always joked with my girlfriends I was going to meet my husband at. I sat in my car. Still feeling kinda sad, just sat there. Saw a fire truck in the parking lot (stuck in my memory for some reason). I left and didn’t go in. A week or so or so goes by. I started talking to this guy (I almost swiped him away because he had his kid on his dating profile lol-who does that?). Almost didn’t meet him because he started seeming like another flake. Finally did. Turns out he was a single dad, super shy, and is the absolute polar opposite of me. Went through the most terrifying night of my life in Oct 2017 with the fires in Northern California that left me staying with him for ten days until my evacuation was lifted. 4 years later, we made a better memory and made it our wedding day ❤. Now the cool part, to me because I 100% believe in fate and stars aligning and whatnot. Back to the solar eclipse. I was talking about how I was in the Home Depot parking lot that day just sitting there and he said, “wait I was there at that time on the day of the solar eclipse.” So I asked if he remembered any recognizable vehicles in the parking lot and he says, “well not besides the Calfire truck in the parking lot..” (he used to be in the fire service and knows everyone, so noticed it). We hadn’t even met at that point. We started talking about 4-5 days later. After a different guy on a different website told me to try a different dating site (we’d made friends, we knew there would be no dates lol). Again, he is my polar opposite. Like why? And how? Really? Such a weird, strong force pulled us together. Way too many arrows pointing directions I normally didn’t go, I went. If I could paint a picture of the story of our stars aligning, it would start with that solar eclipse. I’ve only told about three people that story because I feel like it’s just unique and a special story of how we became us (there’s a lot more story to our story but for now…). Anyhow, congratulations for being able to realize your dreams and being at a point you can look back and see how you and your family have been led on a path on purpose, and for purpose (sorry if I bored anyone to death reading this 😊 I just don’t believe in that many coincidences lol)❤

Oh My Goodness, what an amazing story. Please sit down with Jess on her Podcast! You literally triggered so many thoughts on my life at the moment. You have helped me see some signs I've missed and I now have a small fire burning. I intend to feed it! Thank you for shining a light for me tonight. I'll be following as you move and change. Sending Big Love from Australia ❤❤❤❤

Amazing testimony. It's not weird, I've experienced that feeling too. It's like you've come home even though it's the first time you've been there. I think it's God's way of letting us know where He has made a way for us. How exciting! I'll be moving to my home land next year once my apartment is completed. Only been there once but my heart never forgot and longed to go back, then I randomly met somebody online, instant deep connection, and later found out he is from there! It's been a few years now, and we are constantly mind blown by how the smallest details have come together for us. He's bought us a home and we're planning a beautiful future there. I can't wait to start my balcony garden and my little Worm farm. God is so good!

God is so good. When he writes your story. Pages and chapters the story is amazing revealing him the Lord direction. I have been praying for a new address and homestead for years. Waiting for Gods timing. Hsve had hiccups in this but still trusting the Lord in it. Definitely a faith journey. I am so excited for you Natalie and Tommy and family. May the Lord direct thst exact spot

WRT knowing you are in south Carolina before you see the sign, there's an old mountain range (long since worn down) called the appalachian mountains. pass the divide in that range is like a doorway to a different world. In Canada, that line is just east of the turn at Rivière-du-Loup.

However I get to watch you, Tommy, and the babies is what I want. Your Mom is a Jewel! I know ya'll love living with her and she loves having you there! Nothing weird about that! For some people, it would but ya'll have a heart and soul that beats family, your Mom reminded me of my Mother when we all met at the HOA many years ago and I don't doubt for a minute that she will pack up and move to where you end up! Either location is a heck of a lot closer than Cali so I am praying for upper SC so you would be within a 2-hour drive to me.😊💕 But the bottom line is,🙏🙏🙏🙏 you go where God tells you to go!

Letting you know and you may already that we can't access Jill's card. This is what Google shared with me... "I received a Google Form from you, but I can't open it because it's restricted to people within your organization. If you want me to fill it out, follow the instructions to let people outside your domain open your form.”

I can’t believe/can believe people are only hiring folks that got the jab. 😵‍💫 Makes ZERO (can’t make the word zero big enough) sense. Zero zero zero. Ugh. Praying for you in your journey.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I SO get you about SC. I love the state. It feels like home every time I am there. And just like you, it's one of 2 states that I plan to move to in the next few years. And yes! - it's a great place for NON-Kool aid drinkers! Thank goodness! :-) Sending best wishes as you prepare for the grand move. I'll be following your journey. God bless you and your family.
