Out of the Blue

Life comes at you fast.

That’s what my fiance and I would exclaim as I was putting together a DVD slideshow for one of my good friend’s weddings last year.  Here they are at…. 2 years old, 5, the 10, 16, 22, and so on and so forth.  Seeing it in a rapid slideshow makes it seem all the more quicker.

I remember the days however, when life came at you sloooooowwwwllyyy.  I remember how LONG it took for summer break to finally arrive.  I remember how long those 15 days until my birthday felt.  So why does it seem like my 20s are an absolute blur of activity that cannot slow down?  Since I turned 20, I’ve lived in 8 different places, on 4 different continents,  acquired two degress, tried to learn four languages and worked at 6 jobs.

I mean, I’m engaged now.  Shouldn’t that make me “settle down” as some would say.  Yes, that was the original plan, and my plan always is to spend the rest of my life with my wonderful fiance.  And we are getting there.  But life also throws you curve balls and one dropped in my lap earlier this week.  And…that’s why he loves me

More to come later, but I am taking an impromptu trip back to the States this week to sort out some things.  I should be back within a few weeks, so I’ll have more updates then.
