Milestones

If you'd asked me at the beginning of the year what the plans were for the coming twelve months, moving to Seattle in the middle of the year wouldn't have even crossed our minds. And yet... in ten minutes time we're heading to the airport!

A lot's happened this year already - it's interesting to have a think about what's transpired:

• 125 days since the initial outreach about this job. Us? Seattle? Pffft. Never
• 104 days since the marathon interview, which ended in a job offer. Surely this is still a hoax...
• 87 days since we made the decision to go for it... 
• 46 days since our visas were approved, and dates started to get real
• 18 days since my last official day of employment
• 10 days since we said goodbye to the majority of our friends and family
• 5 days since we said goodbye to our little apartment... hopefully the new tenants will treat it well for us

Now, I started writing this in Sydney, but since then we've jumped on a plane and winged our way to Waikiki, and we're now sitting in our hotel room, getting ready for dinner! A lot can happen in a short of period of time... :)

It's been a busy five months this year - bring on the rest of the year!
