Reminds Me of Home
By stephanie on Aug 23, 2009 in Shopping
One of the things that I truly miss is the farm. Having been raised on the farm, I miss the atmosphere, the sounds, and the style that a farming life brings. But when I fell in love with a city boy, I decided that our love was more important than where I lived, so I followed him to the city.
But after I left home, I had a constant longing for the life I left behind. I knew that Jake wasn’t going to want to move to the farm, so I had to find ways to bring the farm to our home. I thought maybe we could add a western flair to our home, so I would have something in the city that reminded me of where I came from.
I knew that it would have to be simple, or my husband wouldn’t go for it. So, I took it upon myself to find some simple western decorations that would be unobtrusive but still let me know that they were there. Jake didn’t seem to mind the few that I added to our home, so I thought that I would try something else.
I was surprised that Jake liked the western bedding that I bought, but it could have been the fact that it was warmer than our old bedding set. Needless to say, I love that he lets me have little reminders of home here – it makes living in the city not quite as bad.
