Where will we end up next?

So... since 2002, I have lived in Texas, Mississippi, Florida, North Dakota and now Idaho. I have family in Texas, Michigan, California, and friends all over the world. I am itching for a change. What do I do? Where do I go? I love Idaho, but I also love change and I like living in different places. Problems I see... I own my house. We all know how great the economy is right now. Also, I'm active duty, so do I sit here and wait for them to move me or do I try to do something about it? Not really a lot of problems, I understand this, but they are difficult ones.
I have been doing a lot of thinking about what is important to me. Do I want to get out and try to start teaching now? Should I stay in the military so I have a retirement to supplement my oh so small and not enough teachers pay? Do I really want to wait another 12 years to start teaching?
Just a few things that run across my mind, and trust me... there is much more. I just know, not that I am getting old, but I am not getting any younger, and I need to start smoothing out this gravel path.
So, I will lay here in my bed, close my eyes, and think about tomorrow.

From time to time I come across quotes that I like or that make me feel warm and fuzzy or just plain make me think.
These are a few that I have picked up lately. More to come.

About Me

My photo
"Laugh as much as you breath, and love as long as you live" Life has taken me to places and through things that I could have never imagined and some that I would have never chosen for myself. Despite everything, I am healthy and breathing today, happily married since 2004, and happily employed since 2002. I know that I am blessed with much more than most, so I remind myself daily that I am the lucky one. The Husband and I have two dogs, Izzy and Joey and a cat,Skoshi. We don't have any kids and frankly these pets get treated as good, if not better than kids! I can never make enough time to read and write and each time I do, I think to myself "I love this, why has it been so long?". I work as an EMT for the Air Force and I am almost finished with my BA in Social Science with Education Concentration. Right now, I teach life support classes for everyone in my hospital, but my dream is to teach elementary school. I like to think that I have a rainbow of emotions and I choose to use most of them quite frequently, but enough is enough, you'll hear more soon! "Love me when I least deserve it, because that is when I really need it"
