And we're off!

The day has arrived! After months of planning, and a particularly busy last month of packing, tying up remaining loose ends, and organizing final details, today is the day we fly to Spain!

Transitions are always an interesting time of excitement and anticipation for what is coming next, with a dash of sadness and nostalgia for what is being left behind. It is one thing when you are making a change because you are unhappy and you are moving to something that is better - I find those transitions are almost exclusively exciting. But when you are entering a new chapter because of opportunity and dreams, and in doing so leaving behind a chapter that has been generally delightful, it is easy to feel a bit nervous and nostalgic. However, we are choosing to be grateful for what we have experienced thus far and we are looking forward to what is coming next!

At the moment I am feeling thankful for everyone that helped get us to this point in our journey. Planning, packing, sorting, downsizing, thrift store donation runs, discussions, storage, cleaning and more packing. We couldn't have done it without the help of friends and family. 

So now we are off to the airport, with our bike (and accessories), a small amount of clothes and books,  some carrots and apples and homemade cookies, and a lot of excitement!

I expect to write you next from Spain!

In peace,
