Friday, July 4th my flight departs from Phoenix, AZ. Jen has already been over in London for a month or so, but now it is starting to materialize for me. My Visa came on Friday, and now I am spending the weekend deciding what goes, what stays and what gets put in boxes for possible shipping at a future date. It is a moment where I reflect and wonder (albeit prematurely) how long it will be once I leave before I am back. What terms will I be back on, and how, when every little decision we make in life can have such an affect on the outcome, will a decision this large shape the near future? I’m being a little philosophical, but I feel like we have made a decision that both very few people get the opportunity to do so, and even those who could would shy away from. Jen has been extremely brave to venture into a land where she quite literally knows no one, and soon when I am there with her, we will continue to explore all the places we’ve never been. For me all of this has been prequel and back story. Now, as we finish setting the stage, all we can do is wait for the curtain to go up.
