Putting it out there

I want to live way up north in the woods.

In a cozy home with a front porch and swing

with a real fireplace

Where my kids can run around outside all day

and explore the land

A place where there is enough land for my husband to ride four-wheelers and snow-mobiles

and hunt

I want my kids to know how to build a tree fort and to skip rocks

I want a real christmas tree every year

I want my kids to know God, to have moral values and character, and to appreciate life

I want a garden in the summer

with veggies and flowers

I want a home where playing games and singing songs is the norm

I want to relearn how to play the piano

I want a creative space where my kids and I can paint and make things all day long

It doesn't have too be big

or fancy

I don't even need to live close to a mall

that's what shopping on the internet is for

I want to live closer to our families

so my kids know their grandparents

I want more kids eventually

I want a big hill to ride sleds down in the winter

I want my husband to find a job that pays enough for us to do this

and a job that makes him happy

I know this may be a lot to want

but I do

and I am putting it out there in hopes that it will come true!
