Dream a lil February Dream

January has back-flipped in to February, and I woke up this morning to a fresh layer of snow on the ground. Here in Indiana, February is the month that could push you over the edge and make you want to bury your head in the snow. Winter has simply gone on altogether too long.

All of this time hibernating lends itself well to dreaming. Dreaming of green grass and bare feet, horse shows and tan lines.

Kb and I are at this time in our lives where we don't have much holding us back. (Well, except for my work contract that ends in May.) Within reason, we could go anywhere and do anything. It's fun to let ourselves dream about our future together.

We've got some big dreams. They look a little like a big farm house in Tennessee or Oregon. We'd like to live in a place with a more temperate climate; a place where we could go kayaking, hiking in the mountains (or at least large hills), and go on other outdoor adventures more easily. This place would also have more opportunities for Kb to have a recreation occupation. And I'd have pastures full of horses.

Moving away from this area would be difficult; it's the only home that Kb and I have known. Well, I did do a short stint in the Southwest. After high school, I tore off to the wide open spaces of Texas, and I didn't look back... for a couple of months. Before long, I came limping home.

Striking out into the great unknown didn't work so well six years ago, but the dream didn't die. The next several years will be exciting. Who knows where we'll end up!

What do you dream of?
