Tim left his job as an architect to travel the world for a year with his young family.

Intro

To: Tim
Subject: World’s Craziest Idea

Let’s go somewhere, sell our house, rent our house. Before our kids are in school. Can you take a year sabbatical? Let’s get basic jobs. Lets buy a one way ticket to somewhere warm and have an adventure. I’m serious. Maybe I’m just exhausted but it would be amazing.

I think we should find the cheapest Caribbean island we can move to and have an adventure. Maybe I’m just inspired by an article I read, but we only live once!

I love you.
