A friend texted saying, "Hope you are handling all the details with ease." Contemplating her words, I realized what Kirk and I had accomplished over several weeks was pretty big. Packing up a home and moving to another country could be considered a daunting task. But, I think we handled it well despite some colorful discussions about what makes the final cut in the luggage.
We've both been looking forward to this adventure that has been several years in the making. There have been moments of freak outs and second guessing, but more prevalent are the feelings of excitement and possibility. The last few weeks prior to departure comprised lots of travel to see family and time spent with friends in Boulder. Lots of good conversations, several pints (and a keg!) of beer, letting go and welcoming anew.
Details have been checked off our lists and as we settle in to our friend's place here in Santiago, for the time being, more details unfold. But, we're managing this different pace and style of life. The adventure has begun.

At DIA, thanks to V, with all our luggage.
Goodbye Colorado Rockies.
