Gracing the cover of InStyle magazine, the First Lady of the United States is opening up about what she hopes the next chapter of her life will have in store.
While the family have called the President’s official residence home since 2009, they will be packing their bags this coming January.
So what’s next for Michelle and her family?
“Well, the honest answer is I have no idea, just like I had no idea what my life would be like living in the White House,” the 52-year-old began.
“My hopes are that we recapture some everydayness, some anonymity. And we know that will take some time.”
“But I always joke that I dream of opening up my front door and walking out without any notification, without any security,” she continued.
We’re sure the Obamas will settle in nicely to their new home.
After Barack’s official retirement from his eight-year presidency, the first family will be moving into a spectacular Washington property that sits on 8,200 square-feet.
The eight bedroom and nine-and-a half bedroom manor was sold in May 2014 for $USD5 million, and will house the entire family up until 2017 when daughter Malia will head to Harvard.

While the mother-of-two looks forward to this new era, she can’t help but think about all the ways in which she’ll miss her time in the White House.
“There are many aspects to living in the White House that we’ll miss—the folks who work here, the staff who takes care of our families, my team who works on these issues.”
“I mean, these are the people we see every day. They’ve cared for us for eight years. My children’s formative years have been in this house. But we’re young. Barack and I still want to do great work.”
The couple’s two daughters, Malia, 18, and Sasha, 15, have grown up in the 224-year-old building.
