The Persuasion From Where 1 Sit Down | My Dwelling Is Where They Are

Jcrew sale on my comp...

The View from Where I Sit is pretty good.  I pass most mornings perched on a stool at our kitchen isle equipped amongst coffee, my computer, squall as well as camera.  

As I sit down hither inwards our New England home, 1,500 miles away from 'real' domicile (or where nosotros had ever known domicile to be), I mightiness non experience completely at home, but I am definitely at peace existence surrounded past times all of my loves.

In the Barefoot Contessa's "At Home" cookbook she says, "My domicile is wherever Jeffery is."  When nosotros decided to brand the deed to Massachusetts I felt the same agency - as well as hoped I would notwithstanding experience that agency when nosotros got here.

the mr. inwards i of his many spots...

And I do.  For the most part.  Sure, I fille a lot of things from "home" (our cozy Fairway home, existence to a greater extent than or less family, our best friends, our favorite restaurants, our neighborhood, an affordable lifestyle...), but we've managed created our footling version of domicile here.

I promise to await dorsum on our fourth dimension inwards Massachusetts equally a shared lead a chance betwixt Mike as well as I - the ii of us out on our own.  We were itching for a modify as well as jumped at it the infinitesimal the chance became available to us.  I promise we're ever able to create that - wherever nosotros are inwards life.

Little did nosotros know that a big modify inwards the shape of a babe was headed our way!

I'm non talking only close constantly relocating to a novel place, but inwards all types of opportunities.  I promise we're ever able to last opened upward to as well as encompass change... fifty-fifty amongst the potential slight discomfort it mightiness cause.  
 



While I'll never regret our determination to deed hither - it already has brought me clarity inwards as well as therefore many ways - sometimes I intend close how it would last dissimilar if nosotros welcomed Emma into our Fairway domicile - would our experience amongst her last somehow different?  Easier because nosotros had the convenience (and help) from our families?  Maybe.  Easier because of the contentment as well as comfort nosotros felt inwards our onetime domicile as well as our ain life?  Perhaps.

The exclusively regret I'll convey close our fourth dimension hither is if nosotros don't alive it to its fullest.  While it tin last tempting to await forwards to moving dorsum domicile to the comfort of familiar territory (whenever that mightiness be...), I'm determined to "do it right" patch we're here.  With Baby Emma inwards tow, we're going to cash inwards one's chips along to move as well as explore - to novel places, novel experiences as well as novel friends.
