Ah country living....

So I've always been a city girl and always loved living in the city. I enjoyed how close I was to everything. I used to love leaving our apartment for an afternoon stroll and walking down Mountain Road and stopping at different stores. However after lying in bed this morning for a bit since I didn't have to hop out of bed when the alarm went off and listening to the birds chirp and no sounds of traffic I must admit I'm getting used to the country living that I now find myself in.

Jason and I moved down here in the middle of last summer. So I don't feel like I really had time to enjoy my surroundings before it got too cold because there was always so much to do. There is still lots to do, however it's fun for me to go for a walk in this historical village and see all there is to see. Everyone always says hi. There's lots of pretty flowers blooming everywhere. Ancient homes and buildings that have stories to tell. I often find myself looking at some of the huge homes in amazement that they could build something so beautiful that long ago. The other great thing about living here is that I'm only a 20 minute walk to my grandparents who just love it when I pop in.

So that's what I did today on my day off. Instead of spending another afternoon on the treadmill, watching TV, cleaning and emailing I decided to head outside for an adventure. How refreshed I feel now. Yay God, thanks for blessing me with all Your glorious wonders!
