10.28.08



The reason I love to blog, is because I get to look into other people's interesting lives. And whether they are creative house moms or designers in Paris... it's all interesting to me. After blog searching, I fell in love with this website, http://www.cherryblossomgirl.com/. A girl's life in Paris, surrounded by fashion...a dream to me. I always tell Grant, "I feel like I could live in so many different places and be so many different types of people." However I have learned a valuable lesson. When I went to school in Paris for four months, all I could do was miss Grant and my family. I of course loved everything about the city, marveled at every corner, but everywhere I walked I always carried this nagging feeling, "I wish Grant could see this... I wish my mom was here to shop with me in that store... Chloe would love this and she would love that..." So the moral to my story is, even though I've dreamed of living in many different places, I'm happiest when I'm closest to Grant and my family... where ever that may be. And I'm grateful that's it's here.

I'm the exact same way...I could never go too far away from my family. It's fun to pretend sometimes!

I love these photos. Great find, thanks for sharing. I totally agree with you on living near family...you can always travel to all those romantic, exotic, faraway places. But family is where home is.

Please...I know your first thought was always "I wish Chelsea was...this or that." I was way above Grant on the todem pole.

I know you'd love the adventure but...I do miss being close to family {last week my mom & sis met me in vegas} and it seems like the more I see them, the more I miss them. You have a great imagination and seems like you see & read about a lot of interesting places. The point to what I'm saying? I'm not sure...just love you babe.

just the other night hayden asked us why we chose to live here. after living in nyc for 4 years, this was an easy choice and family was a big factor (although sometimes i wonder why?! ha ha) it's always great to travel but every time we do, it's always nice to come home.
