Ah, the excitement and stress! We have moved, and not just anywhere, to the mountains. So far it's been bliss. It's actually quite a funny paradox; living in a city with several millions of people, you stay couped up inside afraid to ever go outside, and communicate to people via Facebook, and then suddenly in a town of about 1500 I'm suddenly out and about, walking down the streets, exserting myself to be more social even if I'm scared, and being outdoors and learning more about wildlife and nature than ever before.
George has been having the time of his life seeing stray cats, local dogs, and being able to walk up and down safe hills and streets in the new small town. I'd like to call this home, but I'm afraid the locals would get mad at me with only living there a few weeks!
George and I have been blessed with a new friend too, who has a daughter George's age. She invited us over and George and I had such an experience we've never had in our lives... George saw horses, fed chickens, played in the fields... and all without the TV!!! Lol. Granted, he did watch TV later, but after much playing outside, and even then he just wanted to go back outside to play and drench himself in rainwater that had poured the previous night. Well, George had fun, and I was happy to have someone to talk to and be able to experience all the amazing things the country/mountains offers.
We still don't know if we'll stay 100%, we're just renting atm till our house sells, and then we may start making offers on houses. Hubby and I favor it here though, so there's a good chance we might stay.
