i don’t think it’s possible to overestimate the amount of stress that moving to the other side of the planet can cause. to start off with, we weren’t ready to move. we hadn’t packed all of our stuff in time to move. luckily our friends and family helped us out tremendously there. we had WAY too many bags to be traveling on a plane with, both checked and carry on. when we finally got to our final destination of Vienna after two slightly horrible flights, and a lay over that totally drained me, we had to pack all of our stuff into a single car, and Chels sat on my lap for the hour drive to our apartment.

so we made it… barely.
(this is just our carry on stuff, and I’m carting some too!)
We were still moving and cleaning the house on the morning we were supposed to leave. In this haste, I thought I packed stuff I needed only to find out once I got here that I didn’t. Benjam and Co. were still making trips to the storage about 2 hours before we needed to leave to the airport and at the end, anything was being tossed into any box just to get rid of it. We never would have made it out without the help of our families and friends over the last few weeks, and are forever in gratitude.
