The New Life

Well enough with being vague and mysterious. Not much of a point when I am pretty much talking to myself anyways. There have been many new and interesting developments in my life as of late.

First, I am getting married. To be honest with you, my life and been pretty plain and uneventful to this point and I welcome the change it will bring. I have the odd fun here and there but mostly it feels like just putting in time. Now I'll be out in the world building my own life with the woman I love. Many challenges lay ahead and I have no doubt in our strength as people, or as a couple, to face any and all of them.

Second is a more recent development. Up until a week ago, the plan was that she was to move here to Canada. Now due to family priorities, as well as some financial incentives, it may be me who is headed to live over the sea. My immediate thought is that this is great, that it will be fun and provide a great chance for personal growth. But not all of me agrees with this. While I am not overly family-centric, I do have a pretty close family. I believe deep down, despite what my outward thoughts would be, that this will not be so easy. I really do want to move but my girlfriend can sense this hesitation and in it sees doubt, even when that is not really the case.

I have no doubt that all will work out, and that I will be off to Europe in as little as seven months. But being so far apart in the meantime is not an easy road. I take heart that it will continue to build in me the character I will need in the years ahead when I have a family and real decisions to make.
