Shove me off the continent i'm ready to go

The silent partner here. It seems that on such a momentous point in the process i should at least post a few words...something meaningful...something grand.......

HOLY SMOKES ITS HAPPENED, WE CAN FLY AWAY NOW!

but seriously. this has been a long (sometimes stressful time) for us. We started this way back in February/March but had been thinking about it so long before that. Some things went so smoothly for us: selling our house and finding a place to store all our stuff (thanks to an awesome family member for that one). Some stuff was really painful: having to struggle and worry about our two cats. I'd like to thank Aynn for taking them both in to her country home; if i was a cat i'd love living there. Some stuff is just bittersweet: trying to see all your family and friends who want to see you "just one more time" and knowing you can't reach them all before you leave. But in the end of this whole process all i can think about is that its happening. We can buy our one-way ticket and head to a place i've been dreaming about for the last 3 years; a place where a teacher is in high demand, where apple trees grow randomly on the side of the road where people threw out an apple core as they drove by, and where we can sea kayak, parasail and find hot springs to bathe in.

Thirty years old and heading out on an adventure...life is indeed amazing.
