I grew up in Chula Vista, which while hardly the country, is a sweet suburb of San Diego right on the Mexican border. I’ve always kind of hoped we’d head back, and now we’re actually considering it. I sure hope we do!

It looks like an amazing, quaint little town, perfect to live in! I hope you enjoy the rest of your time at the Actuallys’!

I ended up in the place of my dreams – it may take a while to get there, but let me tell you, it is WORTH the wait. My daughter turned 8 years old the day we packed the last of our goods into the moving van to head home.

Home.

Nothing like it.

As much as I love where I live, I often dream of living somewhere else. I have done it in the past and always ended up back here. Perhaps, I am only destined to visit these other wonderful places, so I can keep on dreaming.

Bloom where you are planted. Perhaps tomorrow you’ll pull up stakes and move on. When we began to see our children “go native” by communicating in “pidgin” under the house, we grabbed the opportunity to leave Hawaii (great place where six kids did not need to wear shoes). But, metropolitan DC with all its culture, progress and history was too fast-paced for mom and pop. German Shepherd, Princess rode in the front seat with me even when I ventured out to do marketing. Out of good ole USA into a foreign land sure walloped a shock, but I think we learned to appreciate what we had had and we experienced a new, delightful growth pattern. About schools…you are alreadiy “home schooling bug” with all those excursions and exposure to the world around her and her craft projects.

Of course we would LOVE it if you came to live in our town, especially if we’re still living there! I’ll keep an eye out for good house prospects. ;-)

If you move there too, I’m totally talking Matthew into doing the same. Mexico is my happy place.

I always thought I’d raise my children in a city, but Los Angeles doesn’t seem to be that city. Rather than feeling the pull back to New York, though, I am feeling the pull of the desert.

I love all the pictures. It looks like a lovely place to live. I think we are all looking for that perfect place to have a family and grow old. I wish we could find it sooner though.

Brenda, I love your description of your childhood summer nights. I feel like I’m right there, too! I hope you find the perfect place to make your home.
