It still seems hard to believe. Are we really moving our family across the ocean or are we playing some sort of crazy game? But it is slowly starting to feel more real as we begin to pack up our house, sell furniture, get all those final doctor/dental appointments, SLOWLY get the finances in order, etc. We even had our first skype call with our new boss. That made it feel a lot more real. He confirmed that yes, I will be helping teach aerobics, Zumba and possibly ballet. Travis will be teaching English and helping out with a street market.
Our target date to leave is mid-July. That gives us 5 more months here. My emotions are starting to fluctuate big time between excitement and fear, peace and overwhelmedness (don't know if that's a word), looking forward to new relationships and grieving the time apart from current relationships. I drove past our old house yesterday in another part of town and just cried over all the changes in life. That's where we brought all three kids home to after they were born, that's the house we lived in when Connor began the fight of his life with leukemia, those are the streets we walked to and from school....
It just made me realize we are coming to a new set of changes. One day not too far down the road, I'll be looking back to the way things are now and remembering how it used to be. Makes me appreciate today - the ages and stages my kids are in RIGHT NOW, the activities we are involved in, the school they go to, the people who enrich our lives, etc.
So in the midst of all the changes, I'm embracing TODAY!
