Departure Day: January 29

We have booked tickets and will be leaving for Hungary on January 29, 2012! It’s been a long two years leading up to this point. Of course, the real truth is that it’s been a lifetime leading up to it.

It’s an interesting thing to be on the verge of an international, over-the-pond move; especially when it’s not just yourself, but your wife and children as well. I wonder if it’s similar to what military personnel feel when preparing to be deployed. You’ve trained for it. You’ve thought about it and obsessed over it at times. You’ve played the ‘hurry up and wait’ game. Now it’s here. Time to get step on a plane and change the course of your life. Time for all the ‘what-if’s’ to start falling by the wayside, washed away by reality.

So we’re two weeks out, full of training, facts, and more questions than when we officially started down this path in May of 2009. D-Day 1/29. We’re ready to jump.
