Moving on
I've been home the last few days, couch sitting, book reading and Star Wars watching...as well as being sick with only a small portion of whatever my husband has. Still, sick enough to feel like doing nothing.
I feel like I need to catch up with myself again. As the end of our schoolastic careers come closer to an end, I can't help but turn restless. What's next in our lives? We can go anywhere, but do we even know what we really want? Or more like, do we know how to get there?
There's a strong possibility that Jon will be taking a job in Helena this summer. Nothing is certain quite yet, but I'm encouraging this opportunity, regardless of how difficult it will be to be away from him so frequently. However, it's not as if my life will slow down , so I suppose I'll have enough to keep me busy. I think that we're both a little afraid of putting down roots in Montana, although, it's not really that frightening. But we have both come to the realization that there is so much more out there for us. It's choosing between lives that becomes difficult. One life takes us down a path of servitude and adventures to other places. Another life takes us to the way of the American dream. Can we have kids either way? I feel peace about our future, even as difficult as the process of getting there may be. God knows what's there at the other side of this.
In other news, I am procrastinating yet again for a major project. Quite possibly the biggest one yet of my massage school experience. What's new, right? We are going to be buying a car in the next month. If Jon moves to Helena, this will probably become an essential thing for us to do. I fear that I have grand illusions that I'll actually get a car that I want, or for that matter, get to drive it since my husband will be the one driving back and forth between Helena and here. =) Oh yes, and I bought a hamster. Don't laugh. He's very cute and he's much less work than having a child. His name is Sammy the Hammy. Or Samstrong Hamstrong. Or Sampson. Whichever I feel like calling him. I'll include a photo of our newest family member.
It snowed in Montana today and I wanted cry. Can we build a house in a mountain based field with wild flowers and sunshine and plant our own garden and call it citytownsvillevillage? We can all move there and it will be summer forever, but not the bad too-hot-to-move kind of summer. More like early summer, late spring when everything is coming to life. I will be the resident massage therapist and you all can find other occupations. We can have a regular community...or commune (as I think that's what they call it when whole groups of people uproot themselves from society.) I just want it to be warm and for the sun to shine and for my tulips to bloom and to walk outside my door in my crocs without getting my socks wet with snow.
