Farewell...

Well, the big decision has been made. It’s been such an emotional rollercoaster for the past few days/months partly because I hate making decisions and partly because it’s a no-win situation any way you look at it. Nathan and I are going to be toughing it out for the next 20 months or so.

I bought my ticket this morning. Boise-London leaving April 11. I have yet to buy the second portion, the one that takes me home. I feel like I am in a fog, as though I am dreaming and whatever is happening is not for real and certainly not happening to me/us.

This is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done in my life so far. Nathan and I both feel that this is the best thing for now (although, I would not say for a husband and wife to be apart for that long is ever “the best thing”). That’s why it is the best thing for now.

This is going to be a long journey for us both. Lots of Skype and frequent flyer miles. Other pro’s include traveling Europe together, paying off seven long years of school, and looking forward to getting on with life in “the white picket fence” sense of the word.

So, I hope you all will give lots of love to Nathan while I am gone, on and off. I will keep up with this blog and will update people on how things are going. Oh, I probably should mention that I will be working in Estonia as a translator at a Bible College in order to pay off my loans, because I owe time and not money.
