You May Kiss Your Bride…

Drumroll, please…It is finished!

Not the selling of our house, or the packing up of our house, or the fundraising.

THE WEDDING SCRAPBOOK!

Finally, it is finished. 3 years, 3 months and 24 days of marriage; 3 scrapbook binders; 2 photo albums; 5 rolls of double-sided tape; 3 gluesticks; lots of trash (including the extra invitations, programs, bits of cards, photos); and a sore back from sitting-on-the-floor-instead-of-at-a-table LATER…I have completed our wedding scrapbook and disposed of the trash that it generated.

My life is a tiny bit simpler and my office is a tiny bit more organized and straighter. And, my list of things to finish before February/we leave/sell our house/move out of our house/ is now minus one! I SHOULD be dancing around celebrating!

But what do I do afterward? Cry buckets.

Why, you ask? Well, see. There’s a crazy grief that comes with moving to a different country that sometimes manifests itself in unexpected ways. So, here we are.
