Excitement

It’s been pretty hectic and exciting for the past month. As preparations have been underway for our move, I’ve become really intrigued about the next step in life. I’ve reflected quite a bit on many things going as far back as high school. I’m not sure if I’ll make another post before I leave Denver, so here’s a quick update.
Parts of our apartment is in boxes, labeled for various destinations. We have a route and an itinerary between here and Philly. We are going to be buying the plane tickets within a week. While things are stressful at times, I am very content with where I am (and where I am heading) right now. If you want to try to contact me before I leave Denver for a quick drink or something, email me, IM me, skype me, or something. We’ll be in New Orleans between 22 August and 29 August (Friday to Friday). If you want to get in touch, hang out, get a quick drink, get a not-so-quick bite to eat, whatever….again, call, email, IM, skype, send smoke signals, something. We’ll be in Philly between 31 Aug and 8 Sept. The people I do know in that area, I’m sure we’re already planning on spending time together. If you’re in Glasgow and want to hang out once I arrive and settle, contact me now because I’m not sure when we’ll have stable internet service (or even a telephone) after 20 August.

Packing

My wife and I have been packing up and preparing to move for a while. When we moved to Denver, it was pretty simple. We had a timeline, route, place to stay, apartments of interest, etc. With our move to Scotland creeping up faster than imagined, we still haven’t settled on a timeline. We don’t know anybody out there to stay with, we don’t have many prospective apartments. Overall, it’s much more difficult because, on top of the geographic distance, we’re also leaving behind as much of our stuff as possible so that it doesn’t cost us an arm and a leg to move everything, and we’re also leaving most of our pets in the states. We’ve already sent one to my in-laws as they’ve agreed to watch one of our dogs for the duration of our time in the UK. I’m ready for all of this to be over with and be settled in Scotland.
