Two Weeks and Counting...

The latest update... We have two weeks from today (almost to the hour exactly) before we board the plane in NYC! Thanks to everyone so far for helping, encouraging, and loving as we have been on this journey. Bryan is almost finished with school, just a few more tests left. I am done with work and have started on the packing process. Oh, and what a process it is! Moving is always a joy, but I feel like between Bryan and myself one of us was almost always moving in the last two years, so I'm ready to get into a place a little more long term. But for now... boxes and furniture into storage!

Otherwise, everything is going quite well. No stress yet, just a lot to accomplish. It has seemed so far that we had so much to do, but it all must wait until the last minute. Well, we're getting into the last minutes... and finally able to move forward with the PRAGUE process! Keep us in mind! Feel free to call and say hey. We leave out May 14!

Update

Right now we're in a point of waiting, which me being impatient, has been a challenge. I know we're leaving, I know when we're leaving, so... I'm ready to leave. But, we still have a decent amount of time. So as an update, I'll share the "to-do list" as of now:

1. Finish work
2. Bryan graduate
3. See friends and family
4. Pack
5. Get greyhound tickets & storage unit
6. Move out of the apartment
(and probably about 37 other things I can't think of right now....)

Everything is going really well we're waiting and learning how to prepare. We know this is going to be a tough time, but we're just trying to prepare the as much as possible. We got an email from the family whose apartment we'll be living in. They seem to be very nice. She has a blog with pictures and stories and it was really nice to read a little from her point of view and see some pictures. There's a few photos of what the outside of the apartment looks like- very nice.... and the view from the apartment- breathtaking. I just can't believe I'll be in Prague, and literally be able to look out the window (the apartment is on the top floor- like fourth or fifth) and look over the whole city! It's basically getting to the point that we're super excited!

Thanks for all the support so far. We really want to keep in touch with everyone while we're gone. We talked to the cell phone company, and that's just not an option aside from emergencies but we really want to get together an email list as well as continuing to post on here. If you want to receive emails, please email me at starlight724@gmail.com and let me know you want to be added to the list!
