Spontaneous International Travel

I've been feeling a touch of the wanderlust lately, the desire to set my soul free and see places that have only existed to me in magazines. My beautiful boy is the only thing that keeps me grounded in reality; It's one of the things that keeps us balanced. Certainly, I could fly away, but the great pyramids of Giza or the majestic Alps would mean nothing alone. His eyes are a shade of blue that I love more than the glaciers of Alaska, and I could never leave him behind. Besides, who would kill all the foreign spiders for me?

One of the great advantages of modern technology is the ability to see what people are doing in their lives, even without direct conversation. This of course makes it a valuable tool for young women to spy upon the potential suitors they fancy.

Just when I think I've let go of things that are never to be, I'm shown another side of him that breaks my heart with fresh longing(my, but I am feeling southern today!). Last night, I believe I was introduced to his most attractive quality yet: He's an adventure-seeker.

Maybe someday, I will. Maybe I'll convince my beautiful boy. Maybe I'll go with the college boy. Who knows?

Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
