So close to moving!

It felt like this day was going to never come. And then COVID happened and somehow the last 6 months just disappeared. 
But, I just got my visa, I have confirmed a place to stay for the first month, and I am mostly done with all the requirements to bring my dog over. I guess I just have to pack now. 

I am simultaneously so excited, but so sad. Leaving people I love is hard, even when I know it is the right move for me. It feels extra hard because I can't even really celebrate or see people before I leave. 

No purpose to this post other than I guess sharing these feelings with people who probably get this more than most.

That's really exciting. I hope you enjoy your new adventure!

I know it's a crazy time. I was supposed to move to Brazil at the end of May, and ended up coming mid March instead. Giving me one day to pack.

Will you have to quarantine when you get there?

Yup, we get it. Good luck with the move!

Yes - I will do a 14 day quarantine. Perfectly fine for me as I have basically been doing that anyways. lol

I can't imagine packing in one day...though I guess when you have that deadline, you just do the damn thing.

Pretty much. Luckily, I had already done a lot of organizing and I was living with my parents, so they sorted out what I left behind.

But I did think I could fit everything into 4 suitcases, but I had to bring 5. Lol.
