In less than 29 days, I will be walking onto a plane, transferring in the city-formerly-known-as-Detroit, and heading on to the land of tulips, windmills, wooden clogs, dykes, red lights and my sweet, sweet Nederlander.This is a crazy decision. I know it is. Walking away from a job, team and animals that I love, in a city I love, in a state I love, where my crazy and beautiful family lives (who I love more than cities and states and jobs, but maybe not more than animals. They know this.) for what? Nothing but maybe a dream of a life with a handsome, sweet man (whom I have only spent four weeks with in 'actual reality'), in a country where I do not speak the language and I know as much about as I read on Wikipedia. Whew. Who made this decision again???
But what it comes down to is "you only live once", and I am willing to throw caution to the wind and live it fully. Love is the greatest of all adventures, and it would be absurd to throw away what could be an amazing paperback novel sort of story for fear of uncertainty and change. Thank you G. for inviting me on this adventure, full of little and big experiences. I can't wait to go exploring with you. <3
