I'm Out!
Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2014 8:22 am
Well, guys, I've enjoyed being on here for the last several years though I haven't been nearly as active on here since my baby was born (he's already a year old - where does the time go?).
The wife and I are moving to Tennessee in two weeks, and I guess we'll drag the kiddo along with us. We outgrew our house here and decided we wanted some land, someplace green, a smaller town, and a better climate. I wanted a state with no income tax. We found everything we were looking for on a 6 acre property in a small (7,800 population) town in Tennessee.
We have a property that's fenced and cross-fenced, with two creeks, a two acre pond stocked with catfish, bluegill, and large mouth bass, a large barn, and a pretty cool log cabin. There's also an underground spring running under the front acreage that waters it, so I never have to water the lawn. The wife wants to raise goats, so we'll be able to do that. The current owners are even leaving behind a donkey for us.
It'll be a big change moving to such a small town, going from a 6.7 million population metro area to less than 8,000 people. I'm sure that'll take some time to get used to. But I'll be able to shoot on my own land, and that's something I've wanted to do for a long time.
I'll always be a Texan, though. I plan on flying the Texas flag right next to the US flag on my land.
I'll probably poke my nose in here from time to time to see what's going on. I'm going to miss Texas and all my friends and family, but we're excited to start this new chapter of our lives.
