I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. I pray you do find some land in the Ozarks that fit your dream. The Ozarks are beautiful. God Bless. 👋😁💖🙏

Oh my dear I had no idea! I wasn't getting notifications for your videos! I went to check and I was unsubscribed! Others have said this has happened of my subscribers. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. I know this is a while later but I just want to give you a big hug!

[@BigDreamsTinyBudget]

Thank you! Yes I think youtube deleted a lot of my subs because I was gone 6 months and not uploading videos during that time. I was so blessed to be able to spend that time with my mom ❤ Looking forward to where God takes me next :)

[@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara]

So sorry for your loss of your mom and all the drama that went a long with it. Nothing wrong with crying....looking forward to seeing "YOUR" next journey. Being able to spend her last days with her was I'm sure was a blessing.

Thank you

My Dad moved in with my husband and I. It took me a year before I could go through his things after he passed. I tried occasionally and I would just break down. I also cherish the time I had with him. You will always have those special moments held in your heart. I am so excited to follow along with all your new adventures!! Hugs to you.

[@BigDreamsTinyBudget]

I think going through mom's stuff kinda forces us into the grief process faster. I lost my dad 30 years ago, I still grieve but not as much as I did that first year. I am excited for 2021 all good things to come!

[@teresabanuelos3956]

I live in Washington. I love it here especially after living 15 years in Arizona where it’s 122 in the Summer. I told my hubby I wanted to move back home and we did. I lost my mom in 2012. While I still miss her fiercely, it does get easier. The best advice I can give you, is to cry and cry every chance you get. It is part of the healing process. Hang in there girl.❤️❤️

[@BigDreamsTinyBudget]

Hugs, thanks. I think losing my mom and then my oldest son shortly after were a huge blow, but I feel Im on the upside of things now

[@teresabanuelos3956]

@@BigDreamsTinyBudget oh my ever loving goodness!!! I’m sooooooo sorry Sis, I had no idea you lost a child. I know he most likely was grown, but they’re forever our babies. (((HUGS)))

Yes, he passed from end stage renal disease on New years Day last year. He was 35 but still my baby

Annmarie, that was really brave. We are so sorry for your loss. I am so proud of you not being a victim to other people's weakness. You are strong and you have God and your parents on your side.

Ann Marie!!❤❤You're in one of THE most sought after places to live off grid. That's so great that you chose that area, even though now you're about to start piecing it back together. Really excited for you. I hope you can find someone to buy the tiny from you.

[@BigDreamsTinyBudget]

I have seen so many off gridders here, it's pretty amazing but also the reason I want bigger land so I can distance myself from neighbors a bit lol.

[@quarter-milefarm9733]

So sorry about your mom. :( Good luck on your transition. I lived in SE Washington (the side that doesn't get 10 months of rain a year - Lol!), and the land prices were terrible there. We didn't have the luxury of moving very far, and this last summer we found a place just across the Oregon border where land prices were just a tad cheaper (but really not much better). I'd love to move to another state, but God's plan for us is here. I look forward to watching you on your new journey!

[@BigDreamsTinyBudget]

Thank you! Yes I checked OR prices also and eeek! LOL

@Big Dreams 🙋 What are you going to do with your animals? You could either sell or give to another homesteader locally in WA, of course this means purchasing/bartering for all new ones.

Annmarie I am so sorry about your dear mom. I enjoyed her in a couple of your videos I remember. I know you will miss her. She was very blessed having you with her the last few months of her life. Prayers for peace, strength and comfort dear friend. I missed your videos while you were gone. I'm anxious to see whatever your new place will be and all you will do on it. After hurricane Harvey ruined my house here on the Texas Gulf Coast I started looking for another place, far far away from hurricane alley. I had been through the Missouri Ozarks 16 years ago and fell in love with it. I got a Zillow app, poked in what I was looking for and my price range (very cheap lol) and found a lot of really good deals there. But, my property with a ruined house on it here was not worth much and I'm too old to start on a mortgage, so I just bought a big RV and live in it, in my property. I sure do like the ozarks though. I know you will too. Congratulations on your new place. DO give us lots of videos!

[@BigDreamsTinyBudget]

Thank you! I will be videoing as often as I can!
