Bye Bye Love, Bye Bye Happiness? I really do think I'm going to cry.
This is so hard.....we seem to be fulfilling a lot of peoples romantic notions of selling your things to see the world, but the reality is very harsh. We haven't sold many of the items we were counting on selling such as Mark's Saab and our washer and dryer. Mark's parents have taken Saab to Florida in the hopes that a convertible will sell better there in the winter. I don't know how we would manage any of this if it wasn't for both sets of parents, they've been so wonderful. My parents are letting us store all our belongings with them, and my father is taking over a bit of the responsibility for our mail and finances. Mark's parents drove up from Florida to help us pack and took the Saab when we had no success selling it here. In spite of all the tremendous help and support, we are still both on the verge of tears at all parts of the day now. I'm optimistic that we will regain our enthusiasm as soon as we are done with the move, or if not then as soon as the goodbyes are over and we are on the plane.
