Can we still choose?

Every once in a while there is someone who makes us face the reality about our decisions and the way we are preparing at the moment. At those moments we rethink our plans with regard to the bed and breakfast, language school or the fact that we want to move abroad.

This time it was my dad who asked me: “will you still be able to choose? You have already enrolled for a university, JW is going to Spain and your both doing a course.” It made me realise that, maybe, we can't choose any more. Of course we can still decide not to go at all, but if we want to move abroad Spain will definitely be the place to go. Even though we said we would use our holiday in May to experience if Spain offers a future for us, the decisions we made in the last few months have ensured that we either have to move to Spain or we won't move at all. I know there are also other countries in which they speak Spanish, but going to South America is not something we would choose to do. It is simply to far away!Luckily, we are both still very enthusiastic about moving to Spain, so the chance that we won't move is very small. How ever, we will keep in mind that we still have the opportunity to say “no” if we really want to. And if so, we will at least have had a great experience preparing for the move!
