Slightly delayed due to limited access...
There are a number of needed items to complete a successful move overseas. One of the most important is great friends who although don't want you to move away, move heaven and earth to help you out. I can't thank our neighbors Dana and Michele enough for all the help the gave us, laundry, open home, a ride etc. Thank you!
One aspect of support I wasn't expecting was the pseudo-marriage counseling! At the summit of stress, I went over to Dana's house to ask for a power drill. As I approach I made a small joke about Amie's priority list. Dana's reply was simply, "You know, the mind is an amazing thing. It will forget the bad stuff over time." The funny part is that Dana gave the same advice to Amie five minutes prior when she said, "I hope to make it to Japan with my marriage in tack!"
Needless to say, we made it out of the house with all of our stuff and left it in great shape for our renters. We owe Dana and Michele a huge thank you for the help they provided. We look forward to them coming out to visit.
