On Settling, The Post about How It's Going

How is it going in Idaho? How are we are settling in? The first 2-3 months here I'd say it felt like an extended stay at an Air B & B. One with fantastic accommodations and an epic view, I might add, but I'd say it didn't really feel like home. It felt like a vacation. A few reasons came into play for that conclusion, the first being that it was summer the first three months we were here, so anything NEW felt exciting and momentous and Summer Bucket List worthy. For example... Taking a drive to the grocery store felt like an adventure, not an arduous task. Farmer's Markets came across as an epicurean day dream, not a weekly routine to purchase necessary produce. Laundry was put off until absolutely necessary. Oh... wait. That's just life. We've had a healthy amount of guests with us since our arrival in Eagle, Idaho, five months ago. Our daily life hasn't exactly resembled an actual daily life . Many mornings I'm cooking for 10 or 12.
