Mr. SDP and I spent last week in the British Virgin Islands. We were there because of a unique job opportunity that could move us there...temporarily at least!
The BVI is a beautiful place and the people are friendly. We enjoyed our time immensely. What the infrastructure lacks in sophistication, the water of the West Indies makes up for in its countless shades of blue and green.We now find ourselves at home, returning to work and looking at our current living situation through a different lense. Since our plane touched down {on the return trip}, our senses have been heightened. I'm noticing things about our home, garden, life that I may have overlooked just two weeks ago.
I'm sure this appreciation is long overdue, and a classic case of "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone," but we are in the midst of making a very important decision.
I am in communications and work for a PR firm, while Mr. SDP is a money manager who has been doing some consulting for retail companies in the last year or so, since the market crashed and all. {He would probably like me to include that he survived the crash and that his company is still in tact.} We are secure, comfortable and enjoy our life in the states very much.
That's not to say that we're too comfortable. There's a side of us that is enamoured with the adventure, even intrigued by the challenges that come with this opportunity.
We will be making a decision in the next week or so...bear with us!
Life changing decisions are incredibly hard, but I'm sure you will make the right one! And, if by some small chance it isn't the right one, you will learn from your mistake and your life will be better for it! Can't wait to hear what you decide and what is pulling you there.
