We weren't even swapping cushy jobs for less lucrative jobs, we were trading one lifestyle for a completely different one, surprises and difficulties notwithstanding. Anyway, it didn't last long (an opportunity back home in Canada couldn't be passed up) but what I've learned from the experience is that 1) haters are always gonna hate because what you do is and forever will be anathema to their way of life and 2) dreams are meant to be chased.<br /><br />I love reading your blog by the way.Jennanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-5375447673805128842012-10-15T12:32:40.614-04:002012-10-15T12:32:40.614-04:00amen! and thank you :)amen! and thank you :)Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-23468111853449771182012-10-15T12:32:27.803-04:002012-10-15T12:32:27.803-04:00you know what? we're young! there's nothin...you know what? we're young! there's nothing wrong with not knowing. hey, I smell a (part two) coming... hahaBetsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-10736488811616248052012-10-15T12:31:58.911-04:002012-10-15T12:31:58.911-04:00thank you! we need more of that :)thank you! we need more of that :)Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-61939342777211001132012-10-15T11:54:50.644-04:002012-10-15T11:54:50.644-04:00i love this post and its so, so, so true!
