I love it here. Everything is beautiful and green. It rains. Things just grow, like everywhere. There's wildflowers for picking. Our garden is growing and we haven't watered it because the rain takes care of it. The kids and pets can just roam the property aimlessly. No one even misses the TV.
There's so many new plants and bugs to see. We've been making a nature box to send to my sister's family for them to identify. But pretty much everything we're sending is new to us as well.
I got a library card, and Winter is dying to go get her own. She's expressed an interest in learning to read.
Even though I work, my work hours are regular and much shorter than Shane's ever were. We're together more (which in such close quarters that's not always a good thing).
I'm so glad we moved. It's so much better for us.

  1. Wow, I didn't realize you were TV-less! That's my dream. Just waiting for our big 20 yr old tv to putz out and I'm never replacing it 🙌.

    I have absolutely loved seeing Violet learn to read - it will be fun to hear about Winter's progress.

    1. We do watch movies on our phones occasionally, when everyone needs a break. But we're power-less even. We have a generator we run as needed, but we only use it about an hour a day to charge phones and run the fan while the kids fall asleep
