an update on the hard decision

Right now, Sylvanus is getting ready to board delayed in boarding flight that will take him to Switzerland. He’ll be there till the 19th. In the meantime, I will be packing up the entire house!

It’s proving to be very difficult to sort through the things and pick what comes to Switzerland and what stays. For the most part, because we are *supposed* to come back to the US in 2 years, all our stuff will be going into storage. There is no sense in moving ALL our things to Switzerland, only to have it all moved back. The cost is phenomenal and our furniture is too big for the old country.

Of course, I still want to bring some of “home” with us and let’s not forget the sex toys! I also have a stack of books I have not read yet that I’ll be shipping to Switzerland. Remind me to NOT buy any more books. I have more than enough unread ones to keep me busy for awhile. We also want to bring our gaming systems along, clothes, shoes (all things are EXPENSIVE in Switzerland) … it’s unending and a little stressful. When Sylvanus woke up this morning at 3 in the morning for his Swiss -time meetings, I was not able to fall back asleep. My mind kept turning over all the many things that needed to be done. It feels impossible to be able to pack up this house, however, it isn’t really. I managed to get the kitchen all packed up today. Save for a few dishes and pots and pans for cooking this week. Over the weekend, the living room and dining room area got pretty much packed (except for the tv and electronics). I’m keeping a positive attitude, as I still have to tackle things upstairs and in the basement. Oh my!

A few days ago, I made mention that our sweet Tobias may not be joining us for this move… well, here’s the update… he will. As much as it is a pain and makes things a tad more difficult, my husband and I will be driving both our cars to ATL for the holidays. Sylvanus will turn his car in since the lease is almost over and his parents will be keeping mine. So, the trip will be a little bit exhausting since we will have to drive the full amount and can’t change drivers. However, I do appreciate that my husband is willing to bend on this for me. He could see how much it meant to me to have Tobias with me. I love him for this. I am thankful our little family will not be separated.
