and lets not forget that you can find yellowstone here as well.
when i think of raising children, i don't picture it being here. i don't want my kids to be burdened with sounds of sirens every 10 minutes. And having to drive 30 minutes to get to a park or a place where the air is clean and they can be at one with nature. but i wonder if i’d find myself missing the city, the hustle and bustle of it all, i wonder if i would really have more time to be a better person, wife, mom somewhere where life wasn’t so hectic. it’s a nice dream, but i should get back to my current reality.
I totally feel you. After my 2nd trip to Denver I'm liking a smaller city with a different scenery more and more. Somewhere where you can get away within 30 minutes. The only place you get to in 30 minutes here is the burbs. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY. I wish we could just pack up and move out to the Hill Country (or Wyoming...or Montana...) The country is beautiful. Being a country girl myself, I want Lola to experience all that nature has to offer. Luckilly, my family still has land in Arkansas and she will be able to enjoy that. The city has run its course through my veins. Over it. Bring on some wide, open spaces!
ReplyDeleteI am with you! It's a balance. I know I would miss the city, and culture. But I long for the peace and quiet, too. You just have to find that pocket of "away" that is still in proximity to "close."
