whew!

On Monday Seb and I both looked at each other and said "we can't do this anymore!" and we decided to take all the pressure off the move and leave in December instead. It was a really hard decision for a lot of reasons but as soon as we said it we knew it was the right one.

So he'll still be leaving in September without us (the hard part) and we'll join him after Christmas. The kids will start school here and I'll manage the rest of the work in both houses and try to get both rented by the time we leave.

Suddenly life just got muuuuuuch easier.

Good idea :)

That's a very brave decision, but in the long run I'm sure it will work out much better. Good luck!

Oh kathy that's really sweet of you! Maybe I'll find it online somewhere though. I'll let you know. I'd actually took a nearly half of it apart before we decided to stay longer and now I'll have to put it all back on.
