Something More

I stated before that I really wanted to move down to the island.  Spend my days as a beach mama because there is a sense if relaxation and simpliciry, whereas in the city its all chaos and stress.   I can see why my cousin just picks up and spends a few days in Myrtle Beach,  though I prefer OBX.

I was thinking and talking to Tom earlier today, I think my desire to move here is partly that I dont want to live in Pittsburgh, possi.cbly not even Pennsylvania.  Ive never really wanted to stay in there.  The tri-village on Hatteras Island has been the first place outside of Pennsylvania that I actually could see myself living and raising a family.

A downfall to that though is the job market is non existant in the  winter months, so what would we do for a job.  Im going to begin saving money and doing what I can to earn a few extra dollars to save.  Tom mentioned a few other pllaces we could look at like Wilmington, Nc which is close enough to the island.  We shall see what the future holds.

Thinking

The past week or so I have been doing a lot of thinking about my future in various forms.  Mainly though it has been where I will spend the rest of my life.  Do I really want to stay in Pittsburgh, or is somewhere else calling my name.   I have been considering living on the island.

There are a lot of factors that go into the decision to move here or stay in Pittsburgh.  Right now all Pittsburgh has that is drawing me is my friends and family.  I know I am more stressed out in the city, there is a simpler way if life down on the island, more relaxed and as I said simplified.  Sure there arw concerns like the hurricanes.  But it alnost becomes a way if life.

I know tom and I are both happier.  Once we got here for the weekend the way we look at each is different, there is more love.  We actually fell asleep cuddling last night.   I wonder if living here would not only change our lives but our relationship.   The more I think of it, the more I want to move here permanently.  Ive been told it would easy for me to find a good job,  possibly even as special ed teacher.

Im going to look into jobs around here just at the possibilities.  And of course discuss with Tom, but we shall see.
