The First Chapter

In a manner of 10 days

my little world was turned upside down

from life in the "big" city of Portland, Oregon to life on 30 acres

we moved from Portland to 45 minutes outside of Boise, Idaho

These pictures were taken Easter Day

on our own property that we are currently renting

it's so beautiful out here

and just as I remember Idaho as a child

rain, or snow the sun always comes out and shows it's happy face

and my depression has not been an issue in the least

perhaps its simply because of all the excitement

but I really HATED the rain!

My hubby and I agree that we never belonged in the city

living out here has its cons

such as the commute, slow internet,

and missing my friends and my mom and dad

but there is such a peace in my heart

and with my husband so often on the road

I feel so much safer out here

watching birds and critters from my window

and all the sounds and smells of country life

the earth changing with the seasons

and small town friendly folks.

all these things make me feel so much more alive

than I ever felt living in the city

I'm not a poetic person

I don't have the words to express myself fully

but I do believe that we all have a place

somewhere we all belong

and for many of us we don't get the chance to call those places our home

I feel so blessed that we were able to make this move

I think it will be a place that both myself and my husband

will be very happy here :)

Jim and I have not had a picture taken together in quiet a long time

I have to thank my dad for giving me a tripod for my camera :)

but then suddenly my camera - my new camera

stopped working!!!!!

so I can no longer share what i've been up to

but no worries...

hubby has taken the camera into the camera gods/doctor

anywho...

I forgot to mention how much the puppies are loving the move

and who can blame them

life in the rainy city with not much of a yard, no grass, and lazy me

oh and I have a white picket fence!

I know this place is my own personal piece of heaven :)

Marianne is loving it here to

and she had an extra special first Easter

she got a sweet little bunny

who she named Flopsy

and a new easter dress

it was a rather perfect day!!!
