Our New Horizon

Today it became official. Come September, our little family will move to Perth, Australia where we will be installed for the next three years. Even though it's been on my mind for a while, the reality of it all is still sinking in. Fortunately we don't have a lot of stuff, but any amount seems like a lot when you're trying to move it to the other side of the globe. Whenever I feel the walls of red tape and logistics closing in on me I look up Perth in Google images and soak in pictures like the one above. A beautiful cityscape reflected in still water, the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean lapping at unspoiled beaches. Adventure is exciting and fun, but it's also a lot of hard work and can involve a lot of stress, even loss. This will certainly be an adventure, a once in a life-time opportunity, and one that our little family is ready to face together.
