the plan

I've always known I was not a city girl, but I'm finding more and more that even the busy suburbs of Phoenix aren't my cup of tea either. The weather is beautiful here most of the year and it was worth the experience of moving and discovering a new place but my husband and I both miss the color green. We ache for rainy days. Every day here in AZ is so beautiful you feel guilty about not getting out. And I'm not big on getting out.



I'm a homebody. I enjoy being at home. I love crocheting an afghan or watching a movie with my daughter. I like staying home and baking cookies and I prefer staying in my comfy clothes for the entire day. I remember Barbara Streisand once saying she prefers to stay home. That's me. I prefer to stay home. Call me Babs.

A simple life is the plan. One that doesn't require keeping with any type of jones'. A heavily wooded 5 acres with a beautiful house. A place we can have chickens and sheep. A place our kids can have adventures without the fear of the ball rolling in the street. A place we let ourselves get snowed in. A place for many vegtable gardens. A place for a tire swing and tree forts. A place for hot chocolate and quilting. A place we can live our dreams.

The great part is we found our destination. We just need to pave the path to get there. And we will do this as a family.
