Blog Title Runner Ups

Thinking of a name for my blog was the most fun I've had on the computer in a while. So hard to pick just one! I went with "Two Year Itch" because it feels like it's the most accurate description of our life no matter where we are: after about 2 years of doing anything or living anywhere it starts to lose its appeal - jobs, towns, hobbies, favorite recipes, favorite bands...
The only thing that remains a constant is to always have a new adventure on the horizon to look forward to.
It also captures perfectly what our life is about to become as State Department Employee and State Department Widow. Each post at a new embassy will last about 2 years, meaning that just as we start to take the city we're living in for granted, the Feds will send us somewhere new. Awesome? Absolutely. I know it's going to be tough leaving friends, but we already have a long Christmas Card list that's spread all over the world, so nothing new there.
Anyway, if Two Year Itch gets old, maybe I'll change the Blog title to one of these awesome runner ups.

    Johnny - my love, you know I'll never see you once you start this new gig, but I'm okay with that, I'll be hanging out with all the other SD Widows. :)
