In which Mary’s plans become uncertain

Rob and I had a good long talk this evening and he finally has the answer to our burning question. Would the company need him after the holidays? Sometimes the answer was yes, sometimes no. We got the official word, “No” today, which leaves us with the new burning question, “Do we go back to Iceland anyway?”

We’re talking it over and considering a couple of options. Since we’ve got a renter coming in January, this means that we have a lot more freedom than we would otherwise. We’re considering everything from Iceland to New York to parts unknown. Fortunately, this wasn’t entirely unexpected, so we’d already begun tossing ideas around. It is a relief to finally know.

I’ll keep you posted as details develop.

    This sort of thing has always struck me as being exciting, where one’s options are open and the world awaits.

    Good luck with your decision.

    Wow, I agree with Maggie. This is rather exciting. How nice to be able to explore so many different possibilities just as you have both made the comforting discovery that home is wherever you are together.

    Oh, you’re just hoping we’ll stay in Portland, -e-.

    Hey! I truly do think it’s romantic to set off on such explorations together… (but OF COURSE I would be delighted if you found a tidy little rental in Portland!)

    Have a great Chattanooga trip. Give my love to everyone, and may the travel karma goddess smile on your journey
