Have you ever had a place that you just love so much that you never want to leave it and when you do, it’s all you can think about? Well that place for me and my husband is Alturas, California.
It‘s a small town in the outskirts of California that is just everything that we have imagined and more. We went up there this weekend for our friends‘ wedding. This is the place that we are planning to move to VERY soon. And every time we see it or even just think about it we have the undeniable pull to it. I don’t know if it’s just that our home town isn’t giving us the luxury any more, the country lifestyle, just the people out there, the beautiful scenery it has to offer, or all of it mixed together. But All we want to do is be taken back and never return.
I mean, I like Reno. But it’s just not the place I’ve always dreamed of living in and raising my kids up in. And I think that living in a place that has rules and norms pretty different than your own can be kind of suffocating. We should never feel bad if where you grow up just isn’t for you. But at the same time, moving away and starting all over is a huge step. One that I think my husband is a little less sure about - mostly due to the whole job situation. Which is totally understandable being that he is our bread winner that has to worry about rent/mortgage, groceries, and every other bill. And have to abandon all of that sanctuary that we have in our life right now.
But then we evaluate our lives as individuals and as a family. And we realize that this whole moving thing isn’t so scary. Sometimes taking that leap is just exactly what needs to happen in order for us to pursue our dreams. And we can’t wait to take that huge leap soon with all the unpredictability and all.
