Makes me Wanna Move

So a good friend of mine recently moved to American Samoa and has been blogging about it every day. Honestly.... It totally makes me want to pack up my family and move to Samoa when Kasala is finished with school. I know that it is a long way from where I grew up but something about her blog today gave me the desire to just leave the US and move to a more simpler way of life. Some where where what I have isn't compared to someone else. Where I can take a break from technology and not feel like such a prisoner to it. Where I can teach and show my children that what we have is what we worked for... and what we work for is what we have. I would love to just get away from everything, and sometimes everyone, and detach myself from all the hustle and bustle that seems to come with living in the US.

Marie, This is really a special place and I can tell you the only kind of real stress that i have had is really worldly stress. I havent been able to eat all the food i want to and shop like i used to, but really, My kids get more and more grounded everyday and more and more grateful for what they do have
and it it now the 4th week, and i havent heard the word Mcdonalds in a while!

But i would suggest that you visit first and make a list of everything you need to bring and get rid of everything else. We wasted so much space on things still sitting in boxes.

Miss you and love ya lots!
