I can't explain it other than to say that this move, the island, the job, the people and things here feel "right" for me somehow. I guess I just really needed and wanted something different from Dallas. Since moving here, I have gotten to play beach volleyball with professional players from the US (Paul Baxter & Scott Wong) and from Japan. I have volunteered with XTERRA (it's like a short triathlon), flown on planes barely bigger than some cars, watched high school kids husk coconuts with their TEETH, gotten involved in outrigger canoeing, and so many other cool things. Truth be told, I was scared moving here because I didn't know what to expect. I only knew 2 other people (friends from college) and no one else. It took about 23 hours and 7,000 miles but here I am. The job is very nice. The people here in the Northern Mariana Islands are so hospitable. It's so rewarding to go to work knowing that people appreciate you for what you do. Anyways, I have stopped "yearning for more" and started "living for more". Now, I look forward to visiting Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Japan, and so many places I've never been before. Well, that's about it. Peace.  To those who can dream there is no such place as faraway. |
Congrats on everything and good luck. Sounds like you are doing great and having fun.
