The Hobbit or There And Back Again

Well, we've made our decision.

And here it is: we're moving to London.

Wait. Let me say it again. WE'RE MOVING TO LONDON!!!

OK. So honestly, I'm super excited and scared out of my pants. It's been a really long decision process. Tony and I have a hard time deciding what kind of curtains to put up in our living room (2 months of trips to Bed Bath & Beyond), so you can imagine what it took for us to decide that moving across the Atlantic was the thing to do.

After all the praying that we and our parents and friends (thank you!) have done and once the decision was made my mind keeps going back to THE HOBBIT. If you haven't read it - I recommend it. In it, Bilbo Baggins (like all Hobbits) is a comfortable, content, and slightly lazy hobbit. Until one day when Gandalf the Grey shows up - and basically takes Bilbo on AN ADVENTURE. Bilbo wasn't looking for AN ADVENTURE and doesn't even like adventures. But he goes. And an amazing story follows.

I'm feeling like Bilbo. I wasn't exactly looking for AN ADVENTURE. But I feel like one has found me. And although I don't have a powerful wizard as my companion, I do have my husband. My favorite person to adventure with. We've decided to leave our comfortable Hobbit Hole and set out.

I take great comfort in the rest of the title of THE HOBBIT. THERE AND BACK AGAIN. We are definitely heading there, but we will be back again.

Until then, I'll tell you all about the adventures we have in between.
