I miss the life away from the city!
That’s what I realized when we finally visited my FIL this week.
We have been living for more than a year in the middle of the city. We are grateful to have a house for free and my hubby’s childhood home at that, but like I said, it is in the middle of the city. I know that meant we’re close to everything but it also means we have to endure a lot of noise and pollution associated with the city life. Add that to the fact that it is not a healthy place to raise two little kids…
I thought we weren’t missing anything but staying overnight at my FIL’s house located in a small town made me realize it’s nice to actually see trees when you look out the window, it’s a relief not to hear your neighbor’s voice from behind the walls, and it’s refreshing going out for a stroll without fear of being hit by a vehicle.
Our stay here made me rethink if it’s really worth keeping a house in the city. We really don’t have any reason to stay aside from we’re closer with friends and family there. But ever since my hubby started working at home and my son started homeschool we actually have the freedom to choose where we want to live.
I wish making a life changing decision like choosing where to live and raise our kids is as easy as choosing the best brand of smoke (it’s really a no-brainer for this one because Rocky Patel is the cigar of choice) but it’s really a difficult one. It actually is my husband’s decision to make not mine but I know it would be a difficult one for him. He would consult me because he considers my opinion but this time I wouldn’t know what to say.
