Things Recently Enjoyed!

Happy Monday! (Well happy for most stressful for us)

Here are things we've recently enjoyed

The Ranch

So the Ranch is our home away from home.  It has been in Steven's family for many years and it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.  I'm a simple person it doesn't take much to please me I don't like crowds and I just wanna look at beauty forever. 

When we were there a few weeks ago I made sure to take a lot of pictures of everything so I can share what I talk so much about!

This was on our drive to the ranch we left at 4:45am and its a 4 hour drive

This place is never ending 13,000 acres of this :) Gods land



This is a panoramic view of the Ranch House .. it is really hard to see I should have taken earlier in the day

I just love this place

I am always at peace here and hate to leave.  I cannot wait to be able to bring our children here to share this amazing place with another generation.

Growing Up and Life Changes

This post is going to a big jumble of my thoughts and hopefully help me to not be so stressed out and in a funk.

Steve and I met my parents at Happy Garden (Chinese) Wednesday night for dinner.  We got there first and ran into an old neighbor of Steve's parents who is a retired cop.  Steve has always been interested in law enforcement but because of his accident in high school that left him with a bad knee and ankle he has never per sued it.  But he spoke with his old neighbor who mentioned that the San Francisco Police Department is about to open enrollment and now its looking like this is going to be an option.

I support him 150% (or more if that is possible) in whatever he wants to do with his life/our future/family!  I know he wouldn't do anything that wasn't right, however I can't but feel .. uneasy.  I love that men and woman put there lives on the line every day to protect us and it takes a special person to do this but I also know the risks that are involved.  San Francisco is a little safer than places in Los Angeles that he could be sent to but I just have so many mixed feelings about the whole thing.  

Fist: SF is 2.5 hours away from the home we just bought.  

I have never spent more that 1 night away from him in 3 years. 

Therefore i would move with him, there is no way

I could only see him on the weekends. 

Second: Just thinking of moving to a new city where I know NO ONE 

is very scary for me.  It honestly makes me nauseous just thinking about it.

Third: All I can think about is the bad things that could happen.  

I know that bad things happen anywhere and blah blah blah

but this is me.

Fourth: I worry about how we would pay for our home here and

then pay for a place in the city.

Fifth:  We are not city people. I know that's not a reason but

I need my country and farm animals!

The only thing I can think of that is a good reason is we would get to start our family and I could stay home and I would be around more people who live organic/holistic lives, which is the way I want to raise our children.

Anyways now that I have put my worries to words I feel a little weight lifted off my shoulders (not much) but at least its not just jumbled thoughts kept to myself.  And as well there is nothing set in stone but if you know me I am an over thinker/worry wart/planner and I hate last minute things so this is to help prepare me for the future if something does happen.  

I cannot help but worry a little if anyone has advice please share I could use what ever I can get.

On a happier side, it is Friday afternoon here and I only had two kids today and we actually had an amazing day.  Sadie had dance then we ran errands to Target (we go there at least 3 times a week!) and the grocery store! Then I took them out to lunch and we enjoyed a yummy lunch on the patio!  

 

This weekend is going to be good were going to family birthday dinner tonight, finishing our room this weekend and going to a crab feed tomorrow night!

I love my man with all my heart and will do anything I need to, to ensure he is happy in life!

Happy Friday Everyone
