Kelly's Crazy Idea...
Maybe it was the sunshine. Maybe it was the freedom to dream. Maybe it was one too many rounds....
Two years ago Kelly and I made a journey to South Africa to celebrate his 40th birthday. It was nothing short of a incredible adventure - filled with friends (old & new!), people, and places we'd only ever seen through a digital screen.
So, when it became time to plan for my birthday I suppose one could say the bar was set a little bit high ;-) but not once did I ever imagine we'd be where we are right now.
Where did this crazy idea to pack up and go come from? Well, you see it was all Kelly's idea and it was from just out of nowhere...
Random Saturday morning in August 2018, approx 11am:
Kelly: "Hey, so I have this idea...and it's a little out there."
Me: "Okay" Kelly: "...now you don't have to answer right away..."
Me: "uuuum..okay" (warning sounds going off inside my head...and a million possible scenarios run though my brain...)
Kelly: "I know we keep talking about wanting to take a break from work, so that we can slow down and refocus. So, I've been looking at our investments and...how would you like to sell this place, put a hold on our careers, pack up the dogs, and go explore Europe for a full 12 months?"
Me: O_O .....................*tears up* (my brain: *Mic-drop*)
Kelly: "...um...I think that's the first time I've seen you completely speechless!!" _________________
