I enjoy reading your posts and sharing with my husband. I grew up just across the border in Kansas and while the old familiar sticks to me, or rather with me, we have often considered how much of the world we wish to experience. We like to dream and with kids, it kind of mandates turtle status. I want to be gypsies in a sense, but how rich for our children to LIVE in the whole world. We were active duty long enough to see amazing places and find ourselves spending all available free time and money exploring! I hope my children can find that or a greater zest for life. I want to run the Leadville 100, but would only spend those 28 hours or so thinking about all the other places in the world to take two, four, or 16 feet and our humble abode. Cheers!
