Our lives are a constant, change is the constant. Through the ebb & flow of good times and bad there is change. There are also adventures, little ones and big ones. Wandering Gypsie and I have had several of both. Life changing events are adventures, some adventures are meant to come to an end, others, are to be an endless jorney with rogue waves and calm seas. The storm is blowing its self out and we are on our way to calm seas but a new adventure may just be beginning. The adventures we have had, have been getting married, this is one that is an endless journey, also, the birth of 3 children, Martina in 2002, Alexandar in 2004 and Kai in 2009. These also are endless journeys, each an adventure in its own rite. When we moved our little tribe south to NC, this was the beginning of a new adventure, which now is coming to an end. The end will officially be next wednesday as we leave our driveway, for the very last time. I can not promise to keep my cheeks dry at that time. It is not an adventure i choose to end, but with it comes new ones. These new adventures come at the beginning of the second leg of our travels together. Our marriage, has had its ebbs & flows of good and bad. It took the worst of the worst of times for us to reconnect and continue, together. Our marriage is not new, but it is now a bold new adventure for us both. There is much exploring, of our selves and each other to be done along the way [ http://pheenyxsfyre.blogspot.com/2010/08/with-me.html ]. There is still a long journey ahead of us to take the time and explore the depths of 'us' properly. Who know what we may find in ourselves along the way.
This brings me to out next bold adventure. We will be living for a time with her parents. Quarters will be cramped, tempers may flare, but as a base camp to start a new adventure, I can not think of a better place. With the tight quarters comes a rock solid support system of family. They are chaotic and scattered, but they have always been there, for all of us. Our next move, may be the most daring for us and possibly the most fun. We will both be working, and looking for work in a new place. An island home, to raise our tribe, is what we are looking at. I have always felt a connection to the sea, not in the typical idyllic beachfront sense, no, but in the small coastal villages of sea side living. I do not wish to divulge at this time where we are looking, but I will say this, to live on a coastal island, sea breeze swept days, weather tempered by the sea where the children can be free to wander without fear is a dream I have always had.
Plans, choices and decisions. Plans seem to be more fluid and ever changing, so much more so than choices and decisions. We live with the choices we make, decisions we make shape our lives. It is the plans however, that guide us to these choices and decisions.
Our plans are not set in blue-gray granite; it is just an idea to explore, logistics to look into and decisions to make. These choices and decisions will come with time and planning. Gods only know where we will land once the winds stop blowing. No matter where it may be, on our feet we shall land, standing together as only a family can.
