Just an ordinary day?

As I sit here at my kitchen table watching the bird feeder and my bird friends (and unwanted squirrels) I'd like to think that my life isn't changing. Sometimes it's easy to just relish in my current life and routine and forget that in a few short months everything will be different. I love my life and everything we have created here. I love our house, my vegetable garden, my fish pond, my sewing and craft room, and our awesome deck and patio. And that's just our home.

A year ago I quit my corporate job to stay at home and be a full time Mom. It has taken me a year to create the life I think I have always dreamed of. I have found some great Mom friends and our kids love playing together. Not to mention our hubbies like hanging out too. We live a charmed life it seems.

I can't say that over the years my hubby and I haven't dreamed of more. We have wondered if the conservative south is the place for us. We have thoughts of diversity, culture, and a simpler life. A life without the dependency of cars, yard guys, and the many responsibilities of living in a suburban home.

As much as I love my current life, I like imagining something different.
I look forward to the adventure of a new type of life in a new country! I look forward to a more carefree life. I am probably naive to what it really will be like, but isn't ignorance bliss?
It's just life on an ordinary day!
