Strangely Enough
Sometimes I wonder if my wanderlust has doomed me to be ill-content settling down & calling somewhere home. Here's the story of my last 7 years:
Which of these is my home? Which of these places includes all the elements of the world I want to belong to? Is it any one of them? Louisiana holds my beloved family, Tennessee, my transition into adulthood, Utah, finding myself as an individual, & Washington, the home of my dearest. I know that here does not feel like home. I honestly don't think anywhere so far from my family ever will, but where then do my husband & I find a happy medium? Where do we find a place to call our own? I'm not sure. I'm not sure I'm meant to know yet, but I feel the desire to start considering options. What lies next for me in my journey through life? What changes? What settings? What characters? What plots? I have not the foggiest & I suppose that's the thrill of wanderlust, never knowing where the wind may blow you. My greatest fear, though, I think would be, that it might not blow at all.

Come back to Utah so I can visit with you! :)
I feel the same way... Coming up on year 7 in Provo and eager/apprehensive for the next move (while fearing that it will not come soon enough, if ever). I haven't been around to as many places, but growing up in California, then marrying a guy from New Hampshire kind of puts out there a question no one wants to answer-- where should we end up?
Thanks, hun! I'd sure love to visit Utah again! I left behind so many good friends :)
Oh wow, never thought how much our situations were similar! I just wish I knew what was coming next. All I know for now is we'll probably be here till next December, but at least I'll have the summer to look forward to. After that, I have no idea because Aaron has no idea where he wants to finish his bachelors. I suppose we'll just have to keep weighing the options.
