As many of you know, my dad was in the Air Force for about F-O-R-E-V-E-R. So it's like I've lived in a perpetual state of get ready to move. Even now that I've moved out and he's retired, I still get this feeling of been here too long, need to move on. And I don't get too comfortable where I live, because in my head, heck, in three years, I'll be moving!
Except today...I bought 4 boxwoods to plant alongside my house. That's pretty permanent in my book. Why spend money to beautify my yard if I'm just going to move in a year??
My fiance and I have talked about it, and we're okay with staying here. No, we don't live in a big city (sometimes a bummer), but we're just 45 minutes from Asheville, there's hardly any crime to speak of, the people are nice, the schools are good...what more could you ask for?? (Besides nice restaurants and places to shop.)
It's good that we're okay with staying here because it might be a necessity. Consequences of the recession.
So yeah, it's just a weird feeling to "settle down". Here's to hoping I like it!!
I, too, have that roaming gypsy soul. Good thing I married a pilot. Just wish we'd freakin' move!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found a place to rest your head. It's a good feeling.
