Moving or Stationary?

22Jul08

J and I have been planning for our upcoming wedding vacation these last few weeks. We’ve been geeking out together on all of the new adventures, happily unexpected things that might happen, and what we hope to do before the vacay is over. All of our excitement/bonding over this one trip has really made me rethink what I want our next 5-7 years to look like. For a while I thought happiness was us working hard, buying a house, paying off school loans (FUN), and watching E grow up. Now I think it’s more important to work hard, travel a shit ton all over the place, pay off school loans, and watch E grow up. The idea of ‘owning’ our domicile has somehow lost its magic in my mind. I would rather go on adventures with J, get into trouble (though hopefully not too much), and create memories that will sustain us even when we’re old. It’s funny how your perspective on what your future should be can change so much from a few conversations.

Sidenote – J is totally down with this new plan. As a breakdancer he has connections all over the world and when I suggested this new plan his eyes lit up. I love that he was so supportive of what I wanted (ie – a house) even though he really kind of wanted something else (ie – amazing world travel).
