Some of my close friends and family members know that I have a goal of moving to Scotland soon, hopefully this year. I've described my choice to move thusly; I feel that Scotland has been calling to me my whole life and I've been obsessed with it for over a decade. I finally feel like I'm in a position in my life to answer this call.

Some have voiced concerns of what if I realize its a mistake as soon as I go and that I'll have to turn around and come right back, some say "w...hat if you meet a man and get married?", others give me doubtful looks when I tell them that I know absolutely no one in Scotland and that I'm not worried about that. I've had a lot of people congratulate me, saying "You Go Girl!" "Go while you're young and unattached."

But the thing is, I'm not naïve.

I know that there's a lot of things that could go against my plan. I know that life could change or that I could change. I'm making huge strides in this direction; I'm in the middle of giving away a lot of my belongings and planning on selling most of my furniture. And here's the thing that I am keeping my eye on; I am open to whatever God has in store for me. It may be that I make all these changes only to stay here in the US, or even Utah (though I REALLY don't want to stay). It may be that I go back to school or become more knowledgeable in my career. Whatever happens, happens. Even if I get to Scotland and only stay 6 months - I STILL WENT! And I'm at peace with that.
Alba gu bràth!!!!

So hopefully I'll be able to write out my process as it happens so that others who want to move can have some useful advice.
