That moment when you who have the realization that it's time for a bold, life-changing move. Literally.
For the past few months I have been developing a list of activities to do before I turn 30 this November. I came up with some great things I'd like to accomplish, but the list was not the life-changing group of ideas I was looking for. All of the items on "the list" are activities that can be done any day, any time. It's not to say that these are not things I'd like to do after all...I do. I just had this nagging feeling that this was not exactly what my soul was longing for.
Having just returned from the coast, I already longed to return as soon as possible. Thankfully, I have been blessed with a husband who knows how to listen and even has the uncanny ability to pick up key hints, even if the hints are not purposefully being sent out into the atmosphere. Soon after my complaint of our return to reality, The Hubs surprised me with a long weekend back in Seaside, Oregon at a beautiful resort hotel FREE OF COST thanks to a very lovely pharmacist (who happened to own a timeshare at the resort in Seaside) Hubster knows at the hospital where he works! I was of course elated at the thought of our return within a few months to my favorite place on Earth: the beach.
About a month after our return from the previous trip to the coast, as life would have it, events occurred that pushed (and I mean PUSHED!) us into making a major decision to better our lives. A few long conversations with each other later, and the choice was made.
Yes folks, in approximately 1.5 months yours truly and The Great Hambino are
MOVING TO THE OREGON COAST!
You are about as surprised as I was. This move was within our 5-year plan, but never did we imagine it would happen so soon, but things are in place and a plan has been made. We hope you are as excited as we are!
In all honesty, we don't belong in Tacoma. We never have. We've tried to belong; we've tried to fit in. We just don't and that's okay. We belong at the beach. Any beach. But the Oregon coast has amazing beaches that we're very fond of and have talked for so long about moving there.
We will be landing in Tillamook and stay with family for some time while we find work and I get settled in school there. In no time at all we hope to reach our beach life goal by moving to Seaside, where I ultimately hope to work as an LPN in their hospital or many medical offices.
One thing we are most excited for when we are settled is receiving all of you as guests! Who doesn't love a weekend at the beach with free lodging?!
We look forward to this new chapter in our life together in creating an environment that is as peaceful and relaxing as possible, with some hard work on the side (we all know we can't play if we don't work, right?)!
