In five years

What do you want your life to be like in five years?

I am going to try to be realistic instead of going the route of  "in a perfect world".

• Realistically we will probably have another kid...everyone don't gasp at once, you may suck all the oxygen from the Earth.
• We will be living in the United States.  I would rather my kids get an education in the States than England.  I am not sure where I want to live in the States.  If Richard can transfer within the company he works for now, we would most likely end up in Florida, but they have a small satellite office in El Segundo, California.  I personally, want to be in California because I am able to get archaeology jobs and would be closer to home when I am on a job.  California is also closer to Gig Harbor (it would take around 18 hours up I-5  and 1,120 miles to get there but it is closer than Florida which would take 2days and 3,314 miles).
• I will be working full time for the Forest Service or for a private cultural resource management firm, but a government job is preferable. 

It is kind of weird how hard it  is to think about five years from now.  I have been in England for almost five years and it has gone by so quickly.  Although allot has happened, it still feels like I have been standing still.  To think that we will move to the States seems like a far cry from what actually will happen and  makes me realize how lazy and scared I really am.   Why haven't we already moved to the States when I miss it so much?  I seem to be able to come up with many reasons, or more like small excuses.  In reality it is because I am scared to make the move.  The amount of work that would go into it seems scary.  One of the biggest reasons I turn to is that Richard has a job here and for him to loose that job and start over in the States seems huge.  I don't quite know why I can't use one of my Summer jobs as a reason to move even though it would be a temp job?  Something I should think about.
