Sometimes I think about

picking up and leaving. With Mike and the fur babies, of course. We're about to be young newlyweds (at least in 9 months we will be) without children. What's keeping us here? I mean, besides Mike's steady job, my new "big-girl" job, and our families? I read blogs every day written by beautiful young women who live with their husbands/boyfriends in totally awesome places. I mean, I grew up in Europe. (Lawlz, how pretentious am I?) I just hate that the majority of the time I lived there was before I picked up photography as a serious hobby.

It'd make me so happy to be able to spend a year or two with Mike, galavanting around foreign cities and exploring the huge world that we live in. Clearly we don't have the money to live such a life of wanderlust, but that doesn't mean I don't dream about it.

We've talked about moving to Wyoming in a few years when/if we can afford it. But then I think about how disappointed our families would be to be so far away from us. At the same time, I feel like it's more important for Mike and I to do and see things that we probably won't have the chance to do or see once we've "settled" down.

Maybe it's just me being irresponsible. Oh well. A girl can dream.
