Forty Days
We're reserved a flight to the U.S. on July 10th, so we have forty days left. Yikes.
Initial signing for the sale of our home here will likely happen tomorrow, and we'll see how long it takes for closing.
Today, I have questions floating around in my head about what to do once we get to Fort Wayne.
What kind of cars do we buy? It's been over twenty years since I've bought a car in the the U.S. (we had two during our time in Gabon, and don't have one here). Woo, they're expensive. We need one big enough to be a family car with a place in the back for Oscar/Pepper (our future dog), but we want something economical. The other can be small, but how small do we go? Do we buy new or used?
What kind of house do we look for? Once with a basement with plenty of room for visitors and guests or one big enough just for us? One with trees or without? Older or newer? Why do the yards have to be so big?
Do we transport our bedroom set and the buffet or does it cost more to transport than to replace?
Will the cat transport cage from the pet store with the plastic fasteners work, or do they really have to be metal?
When will we have to move out of the apartment?
We're mostly figuring things out one step at a time, but it is a strange feeling to have so many important decisions within a pretty short period of time. And some of them are big decisions .Whether or not we transport the bedroom set is not a life changing decision, but we as a family will potentially build life-long friendships with people in our future neighborhood.
I intend to blog frequently during the next forty days so people know what's up. More later...
