up north and moved in.

we've settled in up north in British Columbia, it's really weird stoking a fire and sitting with my husband while he's on call. 

last year I wrote about where I wanted to be one day, well, we didn't get the house we initially wanted but we got a close second. It's a 10 acre farm, that we are renting for a couple years. It's a huge flat property, Lilly is now right outside the door and this morning we woke up to a foot of snow. 

Yes, there was no snow last night annddd now there is! 

I will now be able to blog more regularly as for one, we now have internet after a month and two, I am going to be taking on less work load to focus on writing and taking care of the kids. for some reason being a house wife now makes more sense to me!?

I've already done alot that I wasn't doing in the city. For one, I'm really motivated to clean and do more with the kids. The animals are happy. 

The dogs love it. they are no longer too big for the house we live in. 

It's simple but cute :)

Our property. Lilly's barn on bottom photo.

we're moving!! no im not joking around.

yes, on tuesday. yes this Tuesday we are moving to a 10 acre property :)
Our house sold here and we need to be out for the 15th! so we had to leave early cause of Hubby's shifts!
I know it's insane and don't worry the move is just as insane!

we have like 24 hrs and a huge truck to do it in.

anyway more info to follow on our new "simple" life.

totally excited!! and since im gonna have alot less to do i will now blog through the very snowy winter!

Halloween 2013 below :) 

sweet dreams.

when i was a kid i would dream. 

not about what i wanted for christmas or what i would get for my birthday but about what i would get out of life...

maybe it's my overactive imagination but i would fall asleep every night to thoughts of what my life would or could be like.

i would go there and think about my house, my cars, my pets, my kids... my husband... always coming back to the same conclusion ...

that one day i would get those things. i would live them. 

as i turned into a teenager i realized how negative the world was. even when things we're not going right in my life, i still had one thing going right... my dreams.

dreaming kept me living in a lot of ways.

when i was lonely, i go to a place where i wasn't lonely.

when i started writing at the age of 13, my dreams grew only more...

my head that often kept me up at night made me write and write and write... till i had aching wrists and sore fingers but i wouldn't stop. not for the life of me.

i would draw my characters and live their lives through my words.

dreaming for me has given me a lot of things.

i think on more levels than one... it brought me my husband.

i wanted a man that loved me more than he loved anything else.

and though it's weird to say yes, that's true. it's so true. that man loves me more than life itself.

i dreamed of kids... i have kids.

i dreamed i would get a horse brought to my doorstep on christmas day and my husband brought me a horse on christmas day to my doorstep two years ago.

i dreamt one day i'd get published.

alaska is getting published.

and most of all, i dreamt i would live on a farm... with my kids, horses, dogs, whatever! and a cute little house with a cozy little wood burning stove and a vaulted ceiling and chandelier.

yes, i've dreamt a lot of things. 

i've dreamt of being a famous rock star and going to my movie premiers for my books (once they got their movie deal) and wether or not that happens ever... haha... time will tell but one things for certain.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DREAMER. 

so even when life is getting me down, i find sanction in my dreams.

when i'm afraid to open the mail, answer the phone or even just breathe...

i go back to my dreams. because they guide me, help me, focus me back on where i want to be.

sweet dreams.
