The Future…

A couple of days ago, my husband and I sat down and had a conversation. I have stated many times that I fully intend to leave this area as soon as the kids are old enough to be out on their own. I think he may have thought I was joking, but I definitely am not.

I want to travel. I want to buy an RV and just hit the road. We can get odd jobs in towns we like, but then we can pick up and leave whenever as well.

I can write anywhere. I can get a job at basically any tax office in the country. Once the kids are gone, I literally have nothing holding me back in this dead end town.

Our oldest has already left home, and his newest military orders are taking him to California for a while. I would love to be able to visit, but it probably won’t happen in the few months he will be there.

I just don’t want to feel caged in anymore.
