I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about life, family, and happiness. I used to sit on the beach in Hawaii and watch the families having fun in the waves and on the beach. I remember thinking that I too would love to raise my kids in the salty sea air and water. So different from how I was raised in land-locked, bitter-cold Idaho. We have enjoyed our time on the Gold Coast and here in Cairns but we know it is time to move on. Although I will always prefer tropical weather; I have come to realize that being close to family is more important than the beach. Perhaps that is the definition of heaven- living in a beautiful (warm) place with family and good friends. Tim and I have decided that we are moving early next year; we are not quite sure where yet. Wherever it is we do know this-that it will be cold but close to family. We can't wait!
