I cannot believe that our departure date is nearly upon us. Jon's initial 72 hours have been filled with a foreign language, meeting patients, unexpected cold temps, washing clothes in a bidet, hanging clothes on a drying rack, experiencing Rome traffic, skype, magic jack, grandor, FOOD, and the anticipation of "living life in a foreign language".
I have to be honest. The past few weeks have not been easy, and the preparation of moving abroad long term has not come without a lot of prayer, hard work, sleepless nights, lots of take-out (I must feed the children), dear friends, and paperwork, paperwork, paperwork! Amidst the tasks at hand, the juggling, and overwhelming meltdown moments, there is a sense of calm in the storm.
Sorry for the breviary of this post, but I must complete my inventory list for the International movers, prepare to transport items to storage, invade my Mama's house with "more" boxes, vet, dentist, hair, and accounting appointments, and a lot of good-byes! I will blog once we are "living our foreign language" and will miss you all!!!
