"Postal Coastal Girl"

"There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." -Anais Nin

In my head, there's been a constant debate whether moving to the west or east coast would be best.

The west is where the people I love live. The west is what I know.

The east is exciting, active, and engaging to me. The east is what I don't know.

I'll obviously live wherever my husband can find work...

But he can apply for jobs in certain cities, can't he? Of course he can. *grin*

Incidentally, Jeanelle has spoken to me about living in Oregon or Washington.

I like the rain, and I like trees. Washington sounds lovely to me.

And, in fact, the real estate for the cities along the Olympic Peninsula is quite approachable.

For instance, I looked up houses in Aberdeen and found this charming little place:

{Rosebushes! And a red door!}

{Cute, low ceilings! And hardwood floors!}

{Open bedroom!}

{An adorable, open kitchen!}

The asking price is $189,900 for 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom (plus a big porch & backyard).
I understand that sort of price would get a much grander house in Utah, but I really don't care. I've lived in Happy Valley all my life, and frankly, "I want mooooore!"
(Little Mermaid moment there.)
Someday, I will live in strange, unknown places where I'll be forced out of my comfort bubble.
Someday, I'll be there!
