We've been married for 3 years now and together around 7. We made a decision to move to a more rural area to be close to family and to enjoy the quietness outside of the cities we love. The cities welcome us pretty often as we spend a lot of time being active, getting involved, and just enjoying what they have to offer...but it is always nice to come back home to our quiet little town on the river.
It's nice to be where we are in life and location. Our location offer's us river access within minutes for kayaking and lightly traveled roads for our newest hobby, cycling. We are involved in church and are hoping to see it grow in the next few years. Our neighbors couldn't be better and our friends are within walking distance.
We've bought the house, got the cat and dog, own two vehicles, and each have our career. Does that make us ready?
No.
I think what makes us ready is our lifestyle, our beliefs, and our commitment to each other. We love people. I fall in love with people much too easily. Our neighbors have become family, we don't clean our house anymore just because our friends are coming over, and we appreciate the people we work with.
It's still scary, to move into another phase in life. I think this is what attracts me, in particular, to fostering because, we're not alone in caring for a child, the DSS is behind us and supporting us 100%.
