Short version:
we're finishing our jobs here, selling the house and moving abroad!

Long version:
Over the last several months it's been rather stressful in our household at times, which I've occasionally hinted in my posts. As much as we try to hit back and learn from the curve balls life throws at us, it's still undeniably exhausting and demanding to go through such experiences. Some sleepless nights, a few headaches, lots of stress - everything has been and still is on the menu.

But, I am happy to say all that is about to result with the outcome we've been hoping for. Mr. O had signed the contract for the job that indicate he has a lot to look forward to, a job that is worth a massive change we're heading towards.

We've gone through several extremely stressful weeks and months of big decision-making and have no doubts this is a great move for our family. We've learnt a lot about ourselves in this process and have a lot to be grateful for. The least of all is that this move is coinciding so nicely with the closure of my company, leaving me stress-free about what would be a big decision regarding my own career. There is some settling down ahead of us, but I don't expect many mishaps except feeling a bit awkward for a while living in the country where we don't speak the language yet.

Actually, I'm probably still in denial, there is still a lot of wrapping things up here and settling down at the other side ahead of us, which is why I am opening this thread to make it sound a bit more more real in a way

We've moved countries before, but this time it's a bit different because we have more preparations to go through and most importantly - we have a son that needs to go through this transition with us. It's daunting at times, it's already very emotional, but also very exciting. We are embracing this change with open hearts and a lot of enthusiasm.

Big wave to all the YLFers in Germany, I hope meeting some of you in person is going to be much more realistic from this summer onwards.
