My Ever Changing Life

So where do I begin? At the beginning? That seems as good a place to start as any. I was raised to want it all--marriage, a bunch of kids, a cute house in the suburbs with good schools--everything a girl could want in life. And then I grew up. I fell in love with history and a wonderful man. I got a degree and got married. My husband started a BBA and we had a beautiful baby.

This is where things started to change. My husband didn't like business and I fantasized of living in the heart of some European capital. And then we discovered Architecture. But that would take too long, and he'd have to start school all over again. The councilor suggested a new field of study--Urban Studies. We've been hooked ever since. It was exactly what he'd been looking for but didn't know how to find. As we delved deeper and deeper, we found in ourselves a passion for living in the middle of a city--the vibrance, the convenience, the magic. But where do I plant my tomatoes in the spring? Where do we let our children or future dog run around without having to watch them all the time? How do I get the groceries home if we took the stroller (and not a car) to the store? Where will we *put* the 4-6 kids we still want to have?

And so my life changes. This is to chronicle the magic along the way.
