Our list of MUST DO items, all 2,573 pages long, is almost finished….maybe, just maybe, this plan is coming together!
You know, I think this is actually gonna happen!
Yes, it will be terrible to hug the kids this weekend when we leave Augusta. Yes, there will be leaky eyes and running mascara. No, no permanent apartment yet. Yes, a temporary corporate apartment for 30+ days upon arrival (see it here). No, I haven’t driven by our old house again (since the last time).

Yes, I heard there is BUNCO with Americans there (yea!). Yes, French lessons are such a wonderful gift BUT! Il est très difficile pour moi! I adore my teacher, Hortense, mais talk about mental exercise! Oooo la la la la. (And Tanner’s course is 4x harder than mine!)

(P.S. Tanner says if I show you the article, then no one will come to visit……)
If I can do anything for you before or after we go, please let me know (soon). Missing everyone already!
à la prochaine, mes amis!
