life-altering decisions, part deux
So I think I've piqued some interest.
Though, I'll be honest, it's not that big a thing. Well, it's up to each of you whether you think it's as mammoth as I made it out to be.
Here goes...
We'd decided one night over some beer and pineapple soju that instead of going on a weeklong honeymoon somewhere in Asia after the wedding in May, we'd blow our stockpile of cash that we'll have saved by next September and just go straight to Europe.
So next September, after I finish working at my current job, we'll take off to Europe for as long as we can afford. We're hoping three months.
Which means we'll finally be going to Toronto in December 2005 or January 2006. Or, as my dad suggested, go to Toronto first, in September 2005, and then go to Europe, since it'll be a little cheaper from there.
Everything's still in planning stages. We've got a Lonely Planet in Korean for Jackie and a Rough Guide in English for me.
But it's exciting as hell.

That is cool, I'm jealous. And totally not what I was thinking it was going to be. ;)

What did you think it was going to be?
A baby or something?

i thought it was going to be a baby or a move somewhere else, or that you weren't coming back ... europe sounds fun!

Yeah totally I thought it was a baby. But I didn't want to say anything in case, as we can all see now, I was horribly wrong. But the way you worded it made it sound like it was something totally life altering. Since I already knew you were getting hitched and planning on coming back to TO in 2006, those were out. It was the only other thing I could think of. -- Going to Europe is cool, but it sounded like something more life altering than that. :)

Well, when we decided to go, it seemed like a really life-altering decision. So I tried hard to capture that feeling when I wrote that first part. And I thought it would be fun to see if I could instill some suspense into my audience.
Now I see where I was vague. The decision was not life-altering, but the experience will be.
My friend Sue said, 'Lots of people go to Europe.'
I agreed; but I replied: 'Yes, lots of people go to Europe, but more people don't.'
I guess I'm just really excited that I'll be one of the former.

By all means! I would be too.
You can save the baby till later ;)
