HA! I can relate to A LOT of these!! Packing suitcases for the next 8 weeks, trying to come up with meals out of remaining food, explaining over and over to the kids what our timeline is for the next 2 months, etc. Glad to know someone is going through all this madness with us!! P.S. Love the new blog look;)
It sounds very busy, exhausting, and sad. BUT we are sure excited to see you soon!
I am going to go take a nap now. I am exhausted just from reading that list! =)
Wow, that sounds overwhelming and exhausting, and amazing that it is all done! I can relate to wandering around the house and not knowing where to begin...I do that before every move. Good luck to you on your move, and I can't wait to hear more about your exciting adventures!
What is the timeline? Just thinking of moving makes me want to stay here. I am excited for you will a heavy dose of jealous in there. Hope the transition goes well.
WOW-ing at all of that - DONE! you AND your family are amazing! So much more to come. Gute reise! Und viel glück!
A family in our ward were moving on Wednesday...to a house across the street! I told her about your move as she was carrying things 3 houses away to her new house from her old house with her kids dragging their toys behind her. She just stopped and stared trying to imagine moving to Germany and packing 4 different ways. Congrats on getting it all done! You are amazing!
