So the first is about our future and what we’re doing with our lives. And not really in a practical way (e.g., should I take this job or not), but in more of a whimsical way (e.g., maybe we could get jobs running a biological field station on a remote island; maybe we could learn Spanish and go live in Spain; maybe we could both get jobs with a pharmaceutical company and see what it’s like to get a real paycheck; if we have kids we should have a toffee-making weekend every fall; wonder if we’ll ever own a house). They pretty much cover any possible direction our lives could go, and are entirely shaped by something we’ve seen/heard/felt recently and not so much shaped by reality. But it’s fun to imagine.
The second topic of conversation is guessing who will actually come visit us while we’re in Australia. We generally agree about most people, so making bets isn’t that interesting, but there are a few people we debate about. So will you prove us right or wrong??? [Reminder, plane tickets are still really cheap right now… :)]
_We_ think we're coming - but if you've already made bets the other way, let us know soon! Glad you're both feeling better - now we are, too!
ReplyDeleteYou know we are coming :P

Can you call my boss and see if I can get a month off? That would take care of one piece. Actually, when you're on the phone ask him about a raise too...that would take care of the other piece. Dreaming of Australia in the meantime...
ReplyDeleteMom and Dad and Pete and Amanda - we're counting on you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your vote, Brett - we'll take that into consideration when deciding our future plans.
Jen - money-schmoney. I believe we were making ~$100/week (combined) when we moved, and we managed to pull it off! (Yes, I'm exaggerating, but you better come!)
