Today was a great day! Went back to my home town and visited with some friends. I drove through some place I hadn’t been on over 10 years. Even went by the house I grew up in, basically the same but different. The entire neighborhood that was once in front my house is now gone! No houses, just woods. Something the state did for flooding reason I believe.
Well all this site seeing and visiting made me realize I miss the country. I was raised in a lil back hick woods town, swore I’d never move back once I left (I was just a dumb teenager), but now I would love for my kids to grow up there. I moved to the city eight years ago when I met my husband. He’s a city boy and convinced to my stay in the city for so long, but I am tired of the traffic, the violence, and the people! I desire the smell of fresh cut grass, bonfires, and sitting on the back porch drinking some good ole iced tea watching the kids play. My kids love to be outside and I think they deserve the life I had growing up, riding tractors, four wheelers, getting down in the dirt muddy!! So I am going to wait til the end of the school year and we are making the move!! I don’t know how exactly or where but I am gonna make it happen!
On the way home I was talking to the kids about how they would feel about moving to Dayton and they all said we’re moving to the country, with much enthusiasm!! I just hope that my Metro riding, sidewalk walking, downtown exploring, city kids can adjust to the country life! Which I am sure they will. They love going to their Nana’s who lives in the middle of nowhere and loved visiting their PaPa (RIP) who was a country boy. I just hope that they will love growing up the country as much as I did!!
So look out country living here we come, well not yet but soon!!
