We are at the apartment early this morning, and the movers are here hauling out the last of our furniture. It is strange to feel yourself become disconnected to a place that you have called home, even though this was home for such a short time. But I feel the disconnection very strongly, and I am ready now to settle into our new home. Jim feels the same way, and it amazes both of us how quickly we adapt. It has been fun to laugh and joke as we pack and move things. As we recall stories together, and as we find ourselves thinking the same thing, the same story at the same time.

In just a little while we will have everything moved into our new house. I am looking forward to unpacking, Jim wants to get the garage set up, and we have a bottle of champagne chilling for our toast tonight. I am so excited knowing that together, we are ready for the adventure!

Here's to the Journey!
