As the Market of Choice checkout attendant mindlessly swiped my Moonstruck chocolates, put them into a paper bag, and routinely asked for $26.50, i thought how mundane this all seemed. I am moving to a different country today....Oh my, I AM LEAVING OREGON FOR GOOD! I am packing up my life and saying goodbye after nine wonderful years. Delayed reaction, true but with all the finite details involved in packing up a life, I guess I was a little distracted.
I am excited but also anxious for the challenge of restarting our lives. There is more at stake this time. Hong Kong was a transient place. You said goodbye all the time and truely good friends will always be there...this I know. But this is 9 years in which not only my life has been affected but those of my three children. This is what they know. Caitie was a mere 17 months when we stepped off the plane May 28, 2002.
Well, Sydney bound we are. Look out, here come The Beilby's!
