the fears of a redneck wife...

ryan and i are both very non confrontational.
we have never really fought.
ever.
i can't remember the last time he even maybe me mad.
hunting season always makes me sad but i don't count that.
but...
there are some things we just don't discuss because it could make us fight.
i lied it is not somethings...
it is one thing.
ryan wants to move.
not right now.
but he wants his kids to have "what he had and didn't have growing up"
-no backyard neighbors.
-shooting bb guns in the backyard
-learning to fish just a walk away
-no traffic (for those who don't know he grew up like 5 houses away from highway 89..seriously no traffic?!!)
but what it all really comes down to (although he would never admit it...) he wants to be able to hunt. in better places.
better states.
he doesn't want to live in blessed Utah.
and it makes me sick.
he thinks there is too much traffic.
too many people.
but he isn't a farmer. a rancher.
he is a microbiologist.
there isn't a huge demand for them in the sticks of wyoming.
i love weber county.
i love weber school district.
i love being so close to our family.
i want my kids to go to fremont. (or weber...i have sketchy loyalty)
i want to live in plain city
or farr west
or harrisville
or pleasant view.
all fabulous places for a microbiologist to live.
so...
i feel there are all these little battles along the way i must win to win the war.
well ladies, i come to you...
a failure.
i think i lost our first battle.
and the worst part...i don't think i feel nearly as redneck as i should...
so...what do i do? let him win this battle and keep my focus on the war? or take it down with a blow torch?
i sure hope seriouslysoblessed doesn't make fun of me for this post but i am serious!
