Thoughts on Vermont

With the job market being as it is, My husband and his 2 of his best friends who been co workers for a long time, are having a horrid time finding work. Permanent work. 5 days a week. Not one day...maybe. The Jubster, (Great person,and ladies hes single...hint,hint.) Looked up on line firearms manufacturers. My husband and Him and the other best buddy all have firearms as their
trade. Its what they know how to do, and do it well and also love it.

One such place is in Vermont.

Hmmm. Ok breathe, breathe. I have never lived anywhere but where I am right now. On my maternal side We had branches come in from Ireland and Scotland in 1781, on my paternal side, The maternal half of my father's line, His mother and grandmother are of the cherrokee nation, whose ancestress were was forced to move from here to the reservations in Oklahoma on the trail of tears.
Great Grandmother moved back here in the 30's as a very young girl with her mother. The paternal half's family settled from Scotland in 1791. So this place is very rooted in my blood, my bones. My mother is buried here. Her mother is buried here. You get the idea. It wasn't very logical, but I sobbed a little while my husband held me, because moving would mean leaving my mother behind. I know its crazy, shes not living any more, I'm not really leaving her. Shes always with me. But thats how it felt. My husband is understanding. Very understanding.
I trust him to not to make horrible descions for our family. And did I mention, Most of his family, mom,Dad,sisters and brother live up there too? On a farm no less. I spoke with my mom in law(though its just mom really to me) about VT. I Said, I need a mom's reassurance right now, what is the place like? And got quite a bit of interesting info.

Now nothing has been decided at all. Its just a pondering. But I had to get it out of my head.

  1. I heard just a little it about this idea. I think it would be an amazing change for you! Granted there's not the convenience of a Target or Books a million near by but hey, there's family, amazing weather, beautiful scenery, and different people (hippies! yay? I thought not.)

    No really, after living everywhere and traveling like crazy I can't imagine life without constant change. I know that everyone up here would be thrilled to have you and the brother close by again! (especailly if there will be an munchkins anytime soon!)
