Off the map...

I moved around a lot while I was younger. I hated and loved it all at the same time. Sometimes I get the moving bug, and I have it right now. I want to get out of town and not just for a vacay! I would love to live in the mountains, the beach, a big city, anywhere else.... I would love to pick my family of four up and just leave, go anywhere, as long as it is far far away. It is not like I don't like it here in Tn, it is not because I want to leave my big family, it is not because I don't have a wonderful life here. Because I DO have a wonderful life, I love having my kiddos have their grandparents down the road, I love that my hubby works 5 min from the house, I love my church family, I love that I coach at the same high school I graduated from, I love all my friends, I really do love where I live... BUT SOME DAYS I WOULD LOVE TO BE OFF THE MAP! Just to get away and get a new set of friends, get a new house, new school, new job, new church family. What if we did it, just up and left?? Would we be sorry? Would we regret it? Would we be grateful for the life we once had?? Who knows? When we moved from MI to TN when I was 13 I hated it!! I hated this town, the new school, the new "friends" or lack there of, hated the new church...but in the end it was the best thing my parents did, I honestly believe I would be a totally different person with a totally different life. So see sometimes getting OFF THE MAP and away from what you know and are comfortable with can be a blessing and I sometimes feel like we the Robinson's may be missing out on something new and exciting in a different town, in a different state..hmm? just some thoughts I have been really thinking about lately.
