Translation:
If there where no if, the cat would be king.
[It's a saying in Swedish, used to sort of say there's no use to worry about what could have happened if you've done something differently.]

We're not exactly sure when it was, but it was some time around 2000-2002, when Urban got a scholarship for studying abroad. We started to look at the possibilities to move to Leiden in The Netherlands. But then Urban got sick, and we stayed here in Sweden. Sometimes you can't help but wonder what our lives would look like today, if we had moved. John was small, just a couple of years old. How would his life been if he'd gone to school there? Had he become Dutch, and not Swedish? Would we have stayed in The Netherlands, or would Urban's career made us move somewhere else? Who knows where we might have ended up.
What an interesting page! I love the "road not taken" musings and the scrapping is beautiful! Love the journaling way over in the corner.
 
I like to think about the "what ifs" sometimes - great idea for a layout! We had a similar situation and almost moved across the country in 2014. I sometimes wonder how life would be different! I love your layering and the map on the background.
