Five places I would rather live than Chicago???? As sappy as it may seem I LOVE Chicago, I love the seasons (despite my recent posts and rants about the weather. BTW - Did I tell you that the first four hours of my shift at work were spent in Triage watching it snow for four straight hours...... AGGGGGGGGH) and I love winter. I love Chicago - and everything about it (the good and the bad). There is so much culture, art, ethnic mix and diversity for my girls to be raised in - I don't think I would move anywhere else....

However, if I could chose five other places to live the first would be Austraila. It's just and AWESOME place. It's so clear and crisp, laid back and chillin'. You can get a mix of seasons there AND - I love their sports!!!!!! I think it would be a neat place to raise our girls.... I would have to bath in sunscreen daily - three times a day - but I would do it.

The next place would be India. God has put India on my heart and someday I feel like I will be living there as a missionary of some sort. I also think this would be a great place for our girls.

The next place would be Rome. I think it would just be gosh darn neat to live there, experience the culture, take it all in and live a little. Just a few years there... maybe after the kids are in college and I need something to fill the void... (LOL)

New Zealand - it is beautiful there and would love to live there for a year or two as well - you know.... after my time in Italy - just scoot on over to New Zealand and be a KiWi for a year or two..... LOL!

And finally - ending up in Japan would be most divine. I would love to live there for several years, immerse myself in the culture, learn the language and maybe retire??? maybe.....

Disclaimer - this does not mean I do not LOVE America. I do love America and I am reminded every day how much I love America - but these are the places I would love to live.... there are other places to live in the world - and still maintain US citizenship!!!!!

That's my five spots..... I am heading to bed. Work was awful and I am still kicking myself for picking up those hours.... (LOL) Can't wait to read everyone elses posts later in the day!!!!
