At school, Alex saw Disney World on Google Earth. We had this discussion at dinner last night:
Alex: Is Disney World really the happiest place on earth?
Laura: I think it depends on the person. I think each person has their happiest place. What do you think your happiest place is?
Alex: I think my house is my happiest place.
Nate: I don't know what my happiest place is. I haven't been everywhere yet.

I think Nate is going to grow up to be a lawyer.
I think Nate will be the one to constantly wish his time away, wanting to be bigger, stronger, faster, older....and then look back and FINALLY treasure the home life he had when he was a child.
...this is just my speculation of course, and has nothing to do with any type of introspection about my own self.
wink, wink!
The best thing about both of these answers is I think they say you are definitely doing something right.
...and a spin off from this topic. I always thought that my happiest place would be NYC. I wanted to live there. I wanted to be a tiny part of the hustle and bustle, like a big city would somehow make me feel bigger and the city itself would fill any voids I had.
...and then my parents took me there when I was 18. I felt so small. I felt so disoriented. And I saw people have sex in a park. My vision was destroyed and I realized that it is fun to visit there, but the city itself wasn't going to make me happy....
That just made me laugh out loud at my desk. That is definitely a conversation I could see Aaron and Brady having almost verbatim. :-)
I love that! I love how differently they experience life.
Haha...love it. So thankful our kids are so different....it makes life that much more interesting;)
I wish Nate could follow me around and talk to me all day long. I think we'd be friends.
