Well, this just got real! After months of planning, selling, dreaming and organizing we are in the air, on our way to the first destination in our new lives.
There are a tonne of emotions and thoughts, there is certainly excitement, after all we are embarking on an adventure that I don’t think we ever thought we could take.
There is a little bit of fear and anxiety because, if we’re completely honest with ourselves, we have no idea what the next six months hold for us. There is also a sense of loss and sadness; we are leaving behind amazing friends and families, most of whom are excited for us but also have an underlying feeling of concern and nervousness.
The last couple of weeks have been hectic to say the least. Kathy was working hard on projects for clients, I was trying to get things crossed off our “to do list” as far as storage and organization of our few remaining belongings. Thanks to some great help from friends and family we were able to deliver the items that needed to go places, visit with as many people as possible and get the entire house pretty much emptied before we left.
On Friday we had the water turned off at the house and the pipes flushed out so that we don’t have to worry about a pipe bursting over the winter.
This made being at the house Saturday and Sunday rather interesting… it really is amazing how taking away just one modern luxury changes your minute to minute actions!
