But lately, I'm finding the idea of that less attractive than it used to be. And now I'm wanting something a little more like these:
I don't know what it is. It could just be a fad of my brain. Or it could be that I really just need SPACE. For the last few years, every time I've driven to Salt Lake, I'm overwhelmed by all the housing developments that have cropped up there in the last . . . how many? 10 years, I'd say. I'm still not used to the new Lehi, or how crowded the south part of Salt Lake valley is getting. I don't want to live in a cookie cutter neighborhood where every house has just small variations from one another and they're only 10 feet apart. It's Californication, is what it is. And I'm not a fan.
It could also be that I have this sort of vision of me living in a farm house, and it seems so nice and romantic. Let's see if I can convey it using polyvore. Lots of people do that on the internet, right? Convey things using polyvore?
Let me take you on a little tour. If I lived in a farm house, we'd of course have a big beautiful willow tree, and I could sit under it and write letters to my friends in the city, saying, "You've got to come for a visit! The kids would love to see you!" I would make homemade jam to spread on my homemade bread, and I would feed the chickens every morning. I would wear a cozy cardigan and floral prints, and of course have Hunter green wellies accessible. It really does sound nice. And I like the idea of 6 pairs of little boots cluttering the entryway, too. We'll see. But for now, that is my fantasy.
you are too cute. I wouldn't mind any of those neighborhoods. as long as it meant we had our own home. I used to have all these dreams of what I'd do with my home. we almost bought one back in 2009 before circuit city went under. my dreams were kind of crushed. it sounds dramatic, but really it was the thought of my own home that got me through the days of living with in-laws. it was hard for me to let go of that dream. now, we are starting to dsave for a home yet again - and I dare not dream. really. I know something is going to happen and we'll need our savings for something else. kind of like UP and paradise falls. ha.
