La Dolce Vita

Top Ten: November Finds

We are getting so close to officially looking for a house that we’re starting to get our act together. We’ve got a list together of what’s important to have in a house (3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a yard) and a couple of things we’d rather not have (Major HOA fees and house/driveway on a main road). A couple of websites have been a big help in re-examining where we can afford to live in theĀ Charleston area.

Since we’ve gone to Bryson City, I don’t have another trip planned. Of course, I’ve started thinking about it: Amelia Island, New England, wine country in California and so my long list goes on. Of course, it depends largely on what kind of house we end up getting, but nothing stops me from dreaming.

Inspirational Words: Dreaming to Plan

I find this to be very true. A lot of us start out dreaming about the kind of life we want to lead. Only some of us stop to realize that we dream so much about it, that we might as well do something about it. I love to dream about things. Sometimes I even have actual dreams about those things. But, I do need to remind myself from time to time to do something about it and I find that I get better at it as I get older. Probably one of my longest dreams I’ve had is to go over seas and in a matter of weeks, it’s about to happen. Action is what makes you a good story teller and helps to live life to the fullest.
