Something I've realized.
When Travis and I were early dating, we were apart for the first year and a half. Before cell phones. Before the internet. We had paper letters. We had a long distance phone call ONCE in a while. We saw each other during breaks. In those letters are all the dreams we had. Get married, have a house, get our degrees, have kids (that was just the planned path we all took back then). We wouldn't have to say goodbye at night, and could be together whenever we wanted. We got married. I wanted to wait until we had a house and my degree before having kids. Both of those came true. We tried for kids for a bit. It didn't work out for us. Then we decided not to have kids and Travis became a hunting and fishing guide full time, fulfilling a long lived dream of his. I have had many dreams come true. Travel for work. Go to Paris.
But what I realized, is back then, we didn't dream about further than that. Because late 40s, early 50s was SO far away. Now that we're here, it's time for new dreams! Commence.
