Tyler got a job and we are moving back! Wow, as I write this tears are filling my eyes. Maybe it is a mix of excitement, fear, sadness and anticipation. It has all happened so fast that I don't feel like I have even processed it yet. Tyler really loved his job in Utah but couldn't pass up another opportunity to live in Europe. We are waiting for our work visa and are tentatively planning on moving in June. The plan is to go for a few years.
I LOVED living there, but it will be different with 2 kids this time. I already am having dreams (nightmares) of life with 2 kids, no car, taking the bus to the store, saving Otis from jumping in front of the tube and having to make new friends.
But the great thing this time is that I've done it before and I know I can do it. I can't wait to take Otis to the Science Museum or to see the dinosaurs at the Natural Museum. Or to take Milly to see the Crown Jewels when she starts liking princesses. Or to chase Otie on his scooter around Hampstead Heath. Otis will start pre-school there and I think he will love it. He asks me everyday when he can go to school.
Am I excited to live in a tiny apartment? No. Do I question if I can live away from our family and friends? Yes. Am I afraid that I will break down in uncontrollable sobs when Otis begs me to go to Grandma's every day? Yes. But I KNOW that this is the right thing for our family.
Remember this size of our fridge there? That should be interesting...
So here we go again. Off across the pond to another adventure. Cheerio!
