Movers packed and picked up our stuff on Saturday and it's headed for Dubai by boat. My parents, my in-laws, my siblings and my husband have been wonderful in helping me prepare for the move. I left Oregon, stayed a few days in Utah and we're now in Arizona. No more anxiety. However, I'm sure a little will resurface as I prepare for the flight (for whatever reason I always get a little bit of anxiety before traveling anywhere, by plane or car).
We're moving to Dubai (as originally planned). We will be there until we decide to move elsewhere. Maybe a year, maybe more. His company does a lot of international work, so the possibility of living somewhere else is high, but for now, we're taking things one step at a time. Sorry to leave so many of you hanging for the past couple weeks after writing my conspiracy theory. I was, however, appreciative of all the additional evidence that supported it, your e-mails and comments made me laugh- my favorite: John's shaved head lends itself nicely to wigs and disguises.
We're safe, excited to get our four member family back in-tact, looking forward to the adventures that await, hoping that e-mail, blogs, and skype will help keep us in touch with friends, and inviting anyone that wants to come visit to do so! Seriously. mi villa es su villa.
i am still in denial. Please don't move over seas. We went to a potluck at the Westgate lounge last night and it made me so sad - the last time we ate dinner there, you guys lived here. I came home and cried. We miss you guys. But I know the people in Dubai will love you too. What an adventure.
ReplyDeleteWe will miss you dearly, but are so excited. I hope I can be as brave as you someday! (wishful thinking) Lots of luck.
ReplyDeleteWow, Toria! I'm so excited for your family, and just a little jealous. My grand plan was to raise my kids overseas, and somehow I've ended up in. . .Utah??
ReplyDeleteIf I come into some money, can I come visit you?
Toria! I wish I was there for your fun night at Westgate. Good luck with everything and keep in touch. Can't wait to hear what its like in Dubai!
