big dreams. maybe someday...

So these past two days I have been itching for an adventure more than I think I ever have in my life. I don't really know what my deal is. I'm probably being discontent in life right now. It's hard to take an adventure when you live in a small town with the same few restaurants that close early and where there is just not much to do. We bought material to make curtains in our room, but I don't know how to sew. I have a sewing machine, but it doesn't work at the moment. My job is the same routine everyday and sometimes it gets old. But that is probably every job. I need to be thankful I have a job. I long to move somewhere awesome, like CO, where there are big, beautiful mountains and activities to do!

We need to find jobs there first. I would love to backpack around Europe someday before we begin having kids. How awesome would that be? When I went to Europe with the soccer team, I wished Scott was there experiencing all of the amazing site-seeing. I told him I wanted to begin saving for a trip to do this. Europe has such amazing architecture that you can't compare to the U.S. Check out the city of prague:

How beautiful is that. love it.
Another thing I think I am ready for is beauty school. I've always enjoyed doing peoples hair. Mom says I have an eye for it. We'll see. I would love going to work everyday, making people feel beautiful with a new do, wearing non-business casual clothes, and just be able to have some good conversations with my customers. It would be a flexible job too. Maybe someday when the time is right I will go to beauty school.

And then there have been plenty of times when I want to leave the U.S. and do missions work with Scott. I have always dreamed of doing missions alongside my husband. We both have talked about it, but a lot of work goes into planning that. It would just be so amazing to be directly involved in missions. Maybe we will go on a short term missions trip for a summer.

So many dreams.

I know God is in control. I know He has Scott and I in Greenville for a reason. I know He has a plan. Right now I will continue to dream, but try to be content and trust that God has better plans for my life than I do. If we stay in Greenville for awhile, I'll be just fine. We have good friends here and jobs...God is always faithful.
