Well, this has been an adventure just getting to today. About 4 months ago, I told Toni that I basically had no shot at this, but just in case, be prepared, we might move to Australia. Then a month ago, I sent her a text "All the approvals are in, we're moving to Sydney". All I got back was a "yay". By then, the ordeal of "are we going, are we not going" had just about worn us out. Then a month of lining up all sorts of documents, paperwork, money shifting, and general craziness, staying up until 4am coordinating with Sydney and Singapore, then getting up to take care of things here in Dallas, then saying goodbye to friends and family, and back on a call at 2am with somebody else overseas; holy crap, we are EXHAUSTED.
An absolutely HUGH thank you to all our friends in Dallas who did what I would have sworn was the impossible, you will make me miss Dallas ;)

And I am so glad we found out in San Francisco, so that we could share the news with our friends there, we already miss you a ton.
As we repack the bags one last time, and my broken toe is nearly healed, and my badly strained back is feeling much better, thanks to an excellent acupuncturist ( thanks, Mark!! that's twice you've bailed me out now... ), we are officially READY. Ready for what, we have no idea. We've never been there. We don't even have a very clear picture of what's in store for us, but we are excited, the kids are excited, and the lightness in my step tells me that we are moving in the right direction. We look forward to visits from our friends, and have deliberately PAID EXTRA for another bedroom. Do not disappoint us by staycationing, or taking the same old trip.
YOUR NEXT VACATION IS IN SYDNEY AUSTRALIA AT OUR HOUSE!!!!!
