First Post: Preparing for Prague

Stu and I have used this past week to prepare for our big move to Prague.

Here is a summary of what we did:

• Packed and moved all of Stu's stuff to his parents' house, where he is storing all of his things in their basement. 
• Sold his car.
• Shopped.
• Ran a ton of errands.
• Did a ton of laundry. 
• Shopped some more. 
• Took a crazy adventure to the hot springs Friday night with Joey and Erica. 
• Sold his iMac computer and replaced it with a new Macbook laptop.
• Bought a lightweight netbook for me.
• Ate, drank, worked out, and ate some more.
• Started this blog.

I am still in the middle of packing my suitcase and doing laundry. This is much more exhausting than I had anticipated. Tomorrow is the day before we leave, and all I really want to do is relax but I still have many things I have to do!

I can't believe that in less than 36 hours we will be on a plane with all of our luggage to Prague, uncertain of what is to come or how long we will be gone, leaving behind our cars, comfortable beds, private bathrooms, television, friends, family, pets, and familiar territory. I am getting homesick just thinking about it! :(

I am determined to keep a positive attitude and open mind, as this is such an incredible adventure we are embarking on and an amazing new chapter of our lives. We are excited for what is to come and to share it with all of you through this blog.

Time to get back to packing and organizing my suitcase!
