The prep.....

It's approximately 4 months and counting until my wonderful fiancé and I board a plane and head to Hong Kong for 18 months. There are many-a-days that I sort of think to myself... "what the HELL are we doing????" but most of the time, I'm excited!!!!

There is a bunch of administration crap to do - i say crap because it's all bureaucratic CRAP. Then there is packing the house and figuring out what to do with all OUR crap!!! Storing it doesn't seem like a financially beneficial option. So I think it'll be a lot of downsizing and "loaning" to people to hold onto for us.

Brian and I have not been sleeping overly well lately. I think part of it is stress about moving, and leaving EVERYTHING, and part of it is a variety of other things. I'm thinking though that, if I start to weed through things, and put things in donate, sell, keep piles, it might start to lighten the load. That is my new goal starting this week.... to at least get through some of the boxes in the spare room.

I can't believe how much there is to do.... but I know that once we're there, it's going to be amazing. I also know that this blog post isn't overly exciting, however, it IS going to be good practice for me to get back into the swing of things for the REAL updates from Asia.
