A house in transition...

townhome in a truck

We are officially a family on the go. Everything has been packed, shipped and routed to Stockholm.  We are now in the period of flux and separation, but I don't really want to dwell on that. Instead...

On M's last day we did talk about what things we would miss most about Seattle, I was trying to give him one last treat, (we ended up at Hello Robin Cookies, not necessarily an old favorite but if you know my husband you know he wouldn't pass up ice cream and cookies.)  We talked about the glorious bowl of pasta from Spinasse, going to Chucks, all the coffee Seattle has to offer, and many more delicious places that we frequent. All of these things are loved but we look forward to the exploration and discovery of our new home. I am not saying we won't miss Seattle. Seattle will always be home;  it was where we meet, bought our first house, got married, and started a family. But I am taking this ambivalence of our places as a sign that we are ready for what lies ahead.

With that in mind, M has landed safely in Stockholm without too much complication.  G and I have been safely transported to Kennewick where we will stay for the next few weeks visiting friends and family till the timer says 0 and we get on the plane to join M.
