One of the best things about being young,
looking at the next 20, 30, 40 years of my life and realizing they are a completely blank canvas,
free to paint my own masterpiece on.

There is so much time.
Time to do things,
see things,
and live somewhere fabulous.

One of the BEST things about my relationship with Nic,
we talk,
ALL the time,
about EVERYTHING.
When we first met I could have sworn we lived the same life, it was seriously crazy!
I had to take a step back and convince myself that we weren't somehow related in some some sort of distant way. Ha
Some of the BIG life changes he went through, I had been through the exact same ones too.
His life story matched mine even before we met and now, more than ever, our life stories are bound together,
and I can't tell you how happy that makes me.
We get to experience those BIG changes in our future together.

One thing we talk about, a lot actually, one of those BIG life changes that are in the near future for us, is deciding where we want to live. The best part is, we realize it can be ANYWHERE.

If you remember from here, I could spend every waking moment at the beach.
I dream about living on the coast of somewhere beautiful,
maybe California,
in a big white house with the beach and ocean as my backyard, a porch that wraps around the entire house where I could spend Sunday afternoons in that little porch swing curled up with a good book.
We could take nightly walks barefoot on the beach, and have date nights down by the wharf at some quaint little restaurant that is owned by a local with yummy pastas and seafood.
Maybe a trip to the happiest place on earth (Disneyland) every now and again.
I don't know about you, but for me it doesn't get much more romantic or perfect than that.

Mesh the Cullen house with Seattle and you have Nic's dream place.
There is something about Washington that he is really drawn to and if it wasn't for the constant rain about 350 days out of the year, I would be all over it.
It is where I was born after all, and downtown Seattle is truly amazing.
We could take ferry rides on the Puget Sound, enjoy the world's most amazing cup of clam chowder from Ivar's, walk around Pike Place Market.
I could even take my students to the aquarium!

And then there is the beautiful city of Boise.
It is where I spent most of my childhood and more than anything, it is the best place my parents could have chosen to raise me.
It isn't too big but isn't too small either.
It has so many schools and hospitals for our careers.
Within practically a one hour radius there is skiing, sledding, rafting, camping, a lake, really anything outdoorsy you can possibly think of.
It has so much to offer.
Besides, we were married there so it is a big part of where our story began.
We would still be close to both sides of our family so that our future baby Williamsons can be close to grandma and grandpas. (or in my mom's case, they will be calling her grammasita) Yeah, its a long story... we won't go there. haha

Oh, decisions, decisions.
The world has a lot to offer us and our new little family.
I think we will just spread our wings and see where the wind blows us :)
And no matter where we go, I'll always be happy and find home because....
