The BEAUTY is there, no matter where you are

 These are the three cutest kids in the world. ( says their mother)

Sometimes I think of moving. I dream about it a little. I think adventures are good and stepping out of one's comfort zone is necessary. But it is hard. I do think that if we moved, it would be difficult to find a place so beautiful. The creek, the basalt, deer jumping and scampering, the distinct seasons... it would be hard to top all of this. So, while we are here, I find myself very thankful for the beauty. And I love having space for our kids to run, EXPLORE and play. But I also believe I could find the beauty in a new place. God made me this way and for that I am so grateful.
