The Adventure of a Lifetime

Let me introduce you to a friend of mine, Lynn.

Lynn and I in New Orleans January 2009.

I first met Lynn in August 1991 when we became suitemates in college.  That seems like a lifetime ago as it has been almost 20 years ago and many, many life events since.

 Lynn is a unique person who loves to read, cook, and travel, and she is passionate in those areas.  How do I know?  It is evident as she is always reading, and it was confirmed when she wrote in her blog http://lynnsmisadventures.blogspot.com/ that she had 976 in her "library".  Plus, when she writes me emails, they are full of details like a novel especially the ones about her travels.  She loves to cook as she tells of the things she has made or plans to make.  When I have visited New Orleans or ask about some type of food, she can always describe it to a "t".  She knows where to eat or where not to.  As for her travels, well, she has gone on so many cruises, that I cannot remember where all she has been.  She has visited several countries including one that is dear to her heart.  That country would be Australia the one where her dearest lives.

Bill and Lynn on their wedding day, January 2010.

It is the place where she will be flying to tomorrow.  She won't be flying there to visit, but to actually live there.  I know we don't live in the same city now, but being in the same time zone makes it better.  While I am sad to see her move, I can't help but be excited for her at the same time!  I mean how many people actually follow their heart to move to the other side of the world to be with the one they love?  Most of us would have analyzed why we shouldn't do it, but I'm so glad Lynn didn't!  She has spent so much time away from Bill even though they married here in the States last January...which reminds me that I failed to tell them Happy Anniversary!  (Baby brain has officially taken over).

To Lynn, I can't wait to hear about this new adventure you are on..the start of the next chapter in your life.  I'll be waiting on your email that gives me all the details written in novel format.  Words cannot express how happy and excited I am for you.  This is not just an adventure of a lifetime, but it is THE adventure of your life!
