On the fly

All of our stuff is now in a shipping container headed to Jacksonville, Florida to be loaded on a boat to Belgium. It was a strange feeling to watch the truck drive away with our belongings, knowing that we won't be reunited with them for 4-6 weeks. It was equally as strange to hand the keys over to the new owners of our house. We are a little spoiled now because we got to sit back and watch someone else do the packing and moving. All we have left to do is to finish getting all our CDs on the iPod - we can finally breath a little.

All of our family got together in Atlanta this weekend, so we have said our goodbyes to everyone, but it still does not seem real that we are leaving. We have been too busy with the preparations for the move to be nervous or excited.

We leave for Brussels on Tuesday (10/3) and arrive there on Wednesday. We will stay in temporary housing for the first 30 days, while we look for an apartment. Stephanie has already spoken with our relocation specialist and we will likely start looking for places on Thursday.

We have a busy weekend planned. Rick's new partner is having a party on Friday (10/6) and on my birthday (10/7) we are heading to Bruges, a picturesque, medieval town in Belgium. Rick starts work on Monday (10/9).
