Is Envy always bad?

Thursday night I went out to eat with my play group moms. Halfway through the meal, Nicole spoke up and told us that she and her family were moving to England for a year with her husband's job. I immediately lit up and started blurting out all the wonderful things about England and how much of an Anglophile I am. I have been there three times and I think it is a lovely country. I started thinking how I wish Pete could find a job over there. I've always wanted to live abroad. And to live in England would be a dream. I am so excited for her. What a wonderful opportunity for her children.

Last summer 6 of us went to New York City for the weekend. It was a blast. I think it is time to start planning our trip to England! :)

I think that would be so cool to live abroad for a while! But, of course... I still want to just GO to England. McKenna's been, but I haven't. Sad, sad....

Oh yes, I also love England very much. I've been there quite a few times in the last few year and can't wait to go back. :)

My hubby used to work for an airline and we got to fly for free, so we went to a couple of cool places and London was one of them. I would have loved to have done more traveling, but it was early in our marriage and we were young and broke, and you've still gotta have some money once you get there.

You're right...England is sooo cool! I'd love to go back!
