Tomorrow marks the first day of moving in to our home for the next two years. I'll be lugging four 60 pound bags, three fabric grocery bags, a laundry bag filled with dirty clothes and my giant backpack down the stairs to a driver who hopefully will be willing to help me put all this sh*t in his car. I will be taking a phased approach to this move over the next few days, which will include lots of train rides with large roller bags in tow.
I can't help but feel a little like a donkey because they are known to be able to carry lots of stuff. But also, with a little research, I learned that donkeys are stubborn, have a strong sense of self preservation are intelligent and cautious, friendly, playful, and eager to learn. We have a lot more in common than I thought. ;-)
This move has not been easy on any of us. When my partner and I were first considering this move, we were super excited. As we got deeper and deeper into things we realized that not only is it incredibly time consuming and exhausting to move, it's way more difficult than we ever expected. Life goes on when we're not around and our loved ones will be going through a lot of change. Change that we wish we could be more a part of. All I can say is thank goodness we have technology that allows us to communicate via video and it's free!
Looking forward to the next chapter in our life...to lots of travel(heading to Belgium on Tuesday)...lots of visits from and to loved ones...learning about other cultures and how to work in a global company...oh and lots of good food!
And I'll keep that donkey in mind for the next two years...especially the playful part!
