one of those questions.

Sometimes I get caught up in my everyday life... and forget to write about all the wonderful things going on. So for that, I apologize. (:
Well, I happened to be very sick today. I just woke up & bam!... I had to be in a dark, quiet room until my head stopped pounding & my vision was back to normal. I ended up taking a trip with Ashlyn about an hour away to drop off some spare keys... and I was sick the whole time unfortunately. BUT we got to catch up & talk about our military men! :D That's always fun!

A called me & made me feel better... idk how he made the pounding in my head go away... but thats just one of the wonderful effects that voice of his has on me! lol He asked me an important question about our future today. & that was pretty exciting! It was concerning the location of where he'd be ported & my preference of being closer to family & friends or going out & traveling. He told me to just take it in & give it some time & a lot of thought & then let him know what I think. Well, I've been giving it thought all night... and though I haven't made a clear enough decision, heres where my head is at:
I've always been the type to want to travel world. I want to explore different cultures & see the wonders of this earth. A & I are both young & we have nothing tying us down at the moment. I think that we're at a perfect point in our lives to go on adventures together. So I would honestly be delighted to travel with him! (:
The only thing that ever gets me second guessing is FAMILY. I really love my family and I count my very best friends as family too (you know who you are!). Its hard for me to envision leaving them. I know that I HAVE to be at my brother's high school graduation a year from now. & I want to be able to see my family on Christmas. But those are just the [small] factors. There's a very large one weighing me down... and its the fact that my dad has cancer. I dont want to look back & regret leaving & not spending more time with him. But I also know that I need to move forward with my life.
So I've decided that I'm going to continue to give this some more thought and talk with my parents about it as well. Maybe they can give some comforting advice. But for what its worth- when I close my eyes & think about where I want to be a year from now... it's with A; whether its close to here or far from here... being with him will always be "home".
