15 Years From Now

15 years from now...where do you want to be? I would love for all of my friends and family to post their own blogs about where they would like to be in 15 years(I'll be 40--YIKES!). Really, if you had your way and could choose, where would you be? What would your family be like? Where would you be living?
Well here is mine...
If life were perfect and everything were to go just like Nic and I have planned I would love to be living in Tremonton, UT (or a similar city) in a cute country home with hourse property and wide open spaces. Nic would be working for a good law firm in Ogden and we would have 4 kids (hopefully a mix of girls and boys). We would hopefully have our barn built to board horses as well. We would love to have 2 horses of our own, a couple cows, a group of sheep, more chickens, a pig, a dog, and plenty of bunnies!

Do you know the Chris Ledoux song "Western Skies"?

Here are the lyrics:
The Nashville friends think I’m strange to make my home out on the range
Think it’s nothin’ but a God forsaken land
Why don’t you bring your guitar and family, move on down to Tennessee
Well, I just smile because they don’t understand
But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin’
Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by
They know why I live beneath these Western Skies
I got peace of mind and elbow room
I love the smell of sage in bloom
Catch a rainbow on my fishin’ line
We got county fairs and rodeos, and a better place for my kids to grow
Just turn ‘em loose in the western summer time
And if you ever held your woman on a summers evening
While the prairie moon was blazin’ in her eyes
You’ll know why I live beneath these Western Skies
You ain’t lived until you’ve watched those Northern Lights
Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night, Makes you feel alright
So guess I’ll stay right where I’m at, wear my boots and my cowboy hat
But I’ll come and see ya once in a while
I’ll bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if I don’t stay too long
I love Tennessee but ya know it’s just not my style
I gotta be where I can see those Rocky Mountains
Ride my horse and watch an eagle fly
I gotta live my life and write my songs beneath these Western Skies
When I die you can bury me beneath these Western Skies, Yippee

Doesn't that sound like perfection!!!

Ok, lets hear yours!!!
