I have always thought that I would love the city, and now that I have it I'm starting to reconsider! Don't get me wrong there are alot of things about the city I like, But as a whole, I'm starting to wonder what ever drew me to it? Maybe growing up where I did? I'm not sure. But lately I have dreaming of a big open feild to run in.
I miss the days when my boys could just go outside and get muddy and dirty and I didn't have to worry about other people or cars. I want my kids to be able to walk to school and the local store for snacks. I want to actually know their friends parents, not just casually. I miss knowing my neighbors and being able to trust them.
Lately I have been really thinking about how being in the city is changing our family. Maybe it's the coming holidays and seasons, maybe I'm just starting to notice it more.
Another down fall of the city we happen to live in, Phoenix, NO WINTER!! Now don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of cold weather. I would much rather live in the hear, and the heat hasn't been a problem, but not having a winter at all is killing me. I miss the snow. I miss playing in it and building snowmen. I miss the need for a jacket or gloves. I miss drinking hot cocoa after playing in the snow.
I guess what I'm getting at is being ready to settle down. I want to find our place in this world. Our 'town' I guess you could say.
