So I don't think it's a good idea making such wholesale life changes at this point in your relationship. But I don't presume to tell you how to live your life...you've done a good job so far! And like every other person who follows your blog, I sincerely hope that this works out wonderfully. Beat seems to be a great guy and we all want to see you two live happily ever after! We're all in your corner. Maybe I'm just disappointed because your scenery take a downturn in every new locality... :-(Stannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-26792540725806911352011-03-07T04:34:41.458-07:002011-03-07T04:34:41.458-07:00I second what Jerry said: Montana's loss is ou...I second what Jerry said: Montana's loss is our gain.

The moments come and go like the summertime wind. Following happiness is like following the wind. Sometimes you will go miles in a strange direction; other times, you'll weave erratically back and forth in the same place. Eventually you may realize that the place you are seeking isn't a place at all; it's the movement itself. Happiness isn't carried by the wind. It is the wind."<br /><br />As someone who has recently moved from Alaska and had (and still has) a hard time leaving it behind, this paragraph made me really stop and think. You are absolutely right, it's about following the wind. I'm glad you continue to follow the wind, even if it's the tougher way to go.<br /><br />If you ever make your way to the Eureka area, look us up. :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212228308225991239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1735394737409574952011-03-05T19:44:36.982-07:002011-03-05T19:44:36.982-07:00You only go around once and you have always lived ...You only go around once and you have always lived with heart and gusto!

MANY. PEOPLE. Its exasperating! Probably with him by your side, you'll be able to get past the population and culture shocks.
