This week was a little bittersweet. In between the Mold House + buying the Mar Azul land, we had a different plan!

We wrote letters to everyone in Ponce Inlet who owned land on the ocean, and see if they would sell their lot to us. Wow, did we get lucky. Of 10 or so letters, we had 2 calls + purchased one. We put in lots of time + $$ to test the land, design a house, and estimate the house. And then we changed our minds and reconsidered our great idea to buy oceanfront land in Ponce and build a house there! Hence Mar Azul.

See the thing is, after lots of thinking about things like global warming + oceans rising + incredibly crazy high taxes + things rusting before we get them installed, not having a street to play on and ride bikes on with other kiddo friends, we decided we wouldn’t build there.

Along the way we decided maybe we should hold onto the land and then the people who live next door approached us about purchasing it to add to their home for their kids and family. How amazing is that? We couldn’t have asked for more wonderful people to have purchased it + know they will love the property and give it amazing love and life.

We’ll sure miss the lot and the idea of building a home to live there. I shed quite a few tears in the car to pick up the girls from surf camp after the closing was complete. Luckily the girls snapped me right out of that! They are more excited about living across the street and riding bikes to their friends houses to swim and play. ?
