Exit Utah.

When? Where? Here we are again, winding down the months left in good old Utah. While my nomadic spirit is clamoring to be somewhere else I think I'll always have a special place in my heart for Utah. The first two years was an adventure. We've never lived somewhere like this with such a beautiful landscape to explore and test one's physical limits. I mean really, before this we never went on a real hike. Every other time compared to what we have done has been a mere stroll. The best thing of all was we did it together as a family. So yes, Utah, thanks for the priceless adventures you gave us together. Though this last year was kind of ..... I feel blessed to have had this experience.

But now it's time to move on. I'm so very curious where we will go next. I'm predicting we will be out of here by July as Benny's replacement will be here in June. I am so crossing my fingers for Okinawa! And if that is where we are going I want to learn basic Japanese before we get there. In my opinion I think it would be really rude to live in another country and not learn enough to communicate. It would only hinder the experience. I don't want to go to Okinawa and only get to know Americans, you know what I mean?

The other possibilities are Hawaii, Germany(I think that is Benny's 3rd choice) and of course California and North Carolina. To be honest I've lost my desire to go home. I don't know why. I would love to see my grandma and eat the good stuff but I don't really want to live in Hawaii anymore. I want somewhere different so I can go explore..

Wherever we go, even if it is (horrible) North Carolina, I will hope to make the best of it. Will update when we find out. HOPEFULLY SOON!
