About this time 5 years ago, we were preparing to sell our house, put most of our stuff in storage, move in with my in-laws and build house next door to them.
My husband was “coming home” to the country and I was leaving all that I knew behind in the city. That isn’t dramatic effect, it is accepted fact. We both new it at the time and although I was reluctant and the change was scary. It was the better choice for our family.
This morning, I want to express gratitude for all the change that has brought me here. I was sitting in the kitchen this morning and my 3 year old, opened the back door and wandered outside to play. He would NEVER have been allowed to roam so freely at our last house.
Just now, my mother-in-law agreed to meet my older child at the school bus so I could take the 3 YO to the only available doctor’s appointment today. We didn’t have that kind of back up until we moved here.
Life is good.

You are so lucky. I wish I lived near family.
