Big Moves Obsessed With Homes

    • Hogar y jardín

Krista grew up in a small town outside Chicago, Illinois. But she knew that wasn't her future. After college, which was in Peoria, she moved to Chicago, IL, where she spent 20 years enjoying everything about living a downtown life.

But as she got older, the process of urban living started wearing on her. The transportation. The clunkiness. The elevators and distance to outside spaces. All these things started tainting the city she used to love.

After being married several years, they realized that children weren't possible. The reality set in that their life wasn't going to be what they planned, and they began to rethink their life. When they did, they knew they needed a change.

With no guarantees and only a hint of full-time employment, they packed up their cats and dog and prized possessions in their Toyota Matrix and moved from Chicago, Illinois to Richmond, Virginia.

The courage that they exhibited in that move, may give them the motivation to do this again one day.
