Thoughts about home So, conversations in the home lately have vastly been related to home. Kevin and I have done some serious talking about it, and I've been thinking constantly about it. The realization is that there just aren't jobs here. I'm never going to find a job I'm really interested in here. My desire is to be in non-profit volunteer training/recruit, or back into children's programming for non-profits. I could go back into social services, but I'm not sure my mental health can take it.

We're now looking at other possible places to live. I would love to move back closer to Atlanta, I miss it a lot. Kevin has no desire to be in a city. I have no desire to drive 60 miles one way to work. So, we're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. And, to top it off, we live in a house for free. It's ours to do what we want with. We can't sell it though, so the minute we move it is a big financial difference. Not to mention that we have two horses we'd have to find a place for. We're going to go and visit Dahlonega this summer, scouting as a possible place to live. It's in the mountains and rural enough to make Kevin happy - but it's also within 40 miles of places that would actually have jobs. We'll see what happens.

On a good note, it finally rained here this weekend. Everything looks very green and lush, it's quite nice and not too hot yet. I still have a few more things I need to plant in the yard. My day lilies are popping up, nothing else is yet. The cockscomb is doing okay. I think my dog decided to take a nap on top of some of them, so some are smooshed. Oh well (there are 24 of them). On another good note, the dog food we've been using has not been in any of the recalls. This makes me very very happy.  ¶ 3:58 PM 2 Comments
