Living 2B Healthy

     We have always been different from the average family. Just as an example, we don't have cable. I'll wait while everyone picks their jaws off the floor. We have managed to live the past year without cable. If we are going to watch television of any kind it's either on Youtube or some app on our XBox. It does seem weird and a lot of times when major events happen I'm the last to hear about it. My husband tells me and he usually hears it from the radio.  When the decision was made to move out to the country the thought that high speed internet not being available with all the technology we have no a days didn't seem like it would be a big issue we are only 1/2 a mile off a major highway and 10 miles from being in city limits.      Now 2 days from closing  [NAME OMITTED] is in panic mode trying to figure out what we are going to do about our biggest complication.

    There are many key moments in everyone's life that truly change the path each of us are on. This is one of those moments in our family.      My husband  [NAME OMITTED] and I have been together since we were children. We met when we were only teenagers at a teen dance club and now 12 years later we have been married for almost 7 years. Together; (like any couple) we have experienced the highest highs and extreme lows. Together we have 3 beautiful children (soon to be 4).  [NAME OMITTED] and I both have only lived in the city. Minutes away from the closest gas station, grocery store and even interstate, but for the last month or so we have been trying to make the biggest decision that we know will change the course of our children's lives. We think this decision could easily be the biggest decision of our lives. Stay in the city or move to the county?!      The weight of this decision...       ...
