about our family plans

Just a little more upbeat about our family plans...  we admit that we loved Seattle, but felt unsettled when we were out west because although it was really wonderful in so many ways, it was missing something and we had to find and fill that hole.  Houston was just a halfway house on our journey to find and fill the hole that kept us from feeling settled.  Well here we are in Saint Paul Minnesota again.  We've come full circle, becoming a little more desperate in our financial needs with each leg of our journey, but here we feel settled.  Let me say it again, we found our hole.  We are working hard to fill it up and live the "perfect" life.  Here in our new home in the city we feel grounded and happy and settled. 

We still need jobs and we still need to work on the marital bliss and the kid/adult balancing act of life... but we don't have nagging questions about what we are going to do when we grow up or where we are going to live.  We are grown up, we live here and we plan to stay here.  We are going to raise our children and do the best that we can to grow an urban farm in our urban yard and provide for our family. 

It's nice to be home.
