Restless

Have you ever felt like you're about to jump out of your skin? I have felt like that for the past week. Just like everything is moving around me and I'm standing still. Like that scene in The Garden State! I'm just restless, bored and needing a change. Don't get me wrong I love my life, but I'm so bored. I'm in need of an adventure. Something exciting like backpacking all over Europe or going skydiving. Actually, skydiving freaks me out, let's forget about skydiving. Ok, how about surfing in Australia?! Who wouldn't want to do that?

My grandmother has never been out of the country. Now, she's 81 at the end of her life and hasn't had any awesome adventures. She has a wonderful family who loves her, but she was happy just staying close to home. My grandfather was in WWII so after he got home from all over the world he had no desire to ever leave America again. You could say he had TOO MUCH adventure. I loved my grandfather. When he was in Italy during WWII he wore a wedding ring even though he wasn't married, so all the ladies would leave him alone. I always wondered if he was secretly married to some Italian lady. lol But he was like my grandmother, happy to just stay home, raise his kids, and travel this amazing country. I didn't get that gene. :-) I want to get married someday, have kids, and show them the world. Which is why I need to travel now, so I know all the cool places to take them someday.

I wonder where I get my restless genes from. I'm guessing my dad. That man can't stand still. So, what's the next move? Hmmm....I'll have to think about it. Maybe I'll start with skiing in Colorado. I've always wanted to do that and my Jamar wants me to come visit. It's a start, right?! :-)
