There's Something Happening Here

Funny, how it is, that when a lot is happening, I don't have time to write about it.

Rose and I have some rather large decisions looming on the horizon. Stay? Go? Give up? Try something new? Stake a claim? Who knows? The whole time we've been here, I've been telling people that when we made babies and moved from California, it was like we took everything in our lives and threw it all up into the air at once. Now we're just waiting for gravity to do its job; to see where everything lands and if there's anything left of our former lives.

Over the past month, we've seen some things come back into the atmosphere, but they look different now. Some opportunities are still there, others have wilted, some just gone away. Some have grown to seem more viable than before, and still others appear to have come from nowhere. Perhaps they were thrown up by another person or family and while in the air, joined our flock of ideas and opportunities. I don't really know how life works, but I do think I'm mixing my metaphors, and that's o.k. My mind is racing.

I never could've predicted, 15 years ago, that I'd be 32 one day, over-educated, married with two kids, and still have no idea where life is taking me. On one hand, it's exciting; on the other, I feel like Rose and I should just go ahead and solve this mystery.
