If We Were to Relocate

There is this show on TV that I started loving to watch every night. They feature people house-hunting for a much better place to live in and they show all these beautiful houses here and abroad. I've got some favorites from all of the houses I've seen them featured so far, but one of my favorites, I must say, are the really remarkable Hawaii houses. The style, design, and pretty much everything are breathtaking! The one that really stood out was, the house built on top of a mountain overlooking a beautiful beach. The house has four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a huge swimming pool, very spacious living and kitchen areas, and just a walking distance to the beach, perfect for a family like ours. And if we were to buy a house like that, we probably could afford one because it wasn't too much of a price to pay considering all the amenities it has to offer and just how gorgeous it was from inside out. The location is a plus, and since we both love the beach, I really could see us living in such a paradise like that.

Right now, we still have two more years till my husband's shore duty ends and we have no idea as to where the Navy will take us. But if we will be given the chance to choose where we would want to stay for another 3 years, I'd pick Hawaii in a heartbeat. It would be so awesome to live by the beach and be away from the city life for a while. I can imagine how things would be like and no doubt, the kids will love it there. There are so many things we, as a family could do and enjoy and who knows, I might even learn finally how to surf there. Although I've heard some people said about "island fever" and how it can actually get into you once you've been living there for quite a while already, I still won't think twice about wanting to live in Hawaii. I don't want to sound like I'm brushing off that thought or anything, but I really don't see it as a big issue, and my response to that, "Not Me! It won't bug me a bit." I grew up in a country that's pretty much composed of thousands of islands and never did I get that "island fever", not once, so I know I'll be just fine and the rest of the family, too.

I really do hope we'd be given the chance to choose where to go next. But of course, it still would be up to the Navy. I just thought it would be great for all of us to experience something different, something big for a change, but definitely worth it.
