How Did I Get Here?

Well, what was originally a little thought has now turned into a potenitally life-changing/challenging event. My little idea was to take a summer vacation in another part of the country...taking a break from the day-to-day routine and venturing out into the unknown. I had suggested a little vacation to Bend, Oregon. My husband and I had been there about 10 years ago for a brief visit and thought that might be a great place to take the kids and get in the mandatory summer mountain bike riding overdose.



Sounds like a grand idea...well...



Now we're in the middle of getting ready to try and list our house for sale. After that, we are now looking to possibly up-root out lives and move to this little vacation spot that we did an overnight stay in 10 years ago. Crazy sounding isn't it. We would have not jobs. We would be uprooting our kids. We'd be leaving the geographic area I've called home for almost 40 years. I've never lived anywhere but Southern California. 40 years. Cali has been good to me, the weather is outstanding and hard to beat but...40 years. Can I make it somewhere else? I've really don't have any other family living here other than my own little family unit. Is it time to throw out the stale bread and start fresh and new?
