We are MOVING!!!

We have made the decision to move to Prague!! It is a little weird and unbelievable but true. We met with a realtor last week and put the house on the market. Hopefully it will sell quickly so that we don't have to worry about it when we are in Prague. The house is now incredibly neat. This takes up a lot of my time now since the girls like to spread their toys out throughout the house. It is nice to have the house in "showable" condition though since now I can relax a little. It feels like the calm before the storm now. Don't worry though, I like storms! :)

As Jason said before we have managed to throw out a lot of stuff. I feel bad for our garbage and recycling people every week with all the trash that is out there. We have made a lot of runs to the dump as well. Good thing we decided to move since it forced us to get rid of a lot of trash.

Jason is probably going to fly to Prague in the middle of October to secure our apartment as well as deal with how to set up utilities and set up a bank account. We don't know if we will end up with a furnished or unfurnished apartment. It will be nice to get that settled so that we know what needs to be packed for storage and what will come with us. It will also be nice to know where in the city we will be. We are going to look in Praha 2, 6, & 7. Praha 2 is more in the city with a more hip/trendy feel while Praha 6 & 7 are across the Vlatva River. Praha 6 has a lot of expat families which could be good for me and the girls but we want to be very close to the metro so that Jason will have a 10 minute commute to work. That limits where we can be in Praha 6. Praha 7 is next to Praha 6 and is really in the mix for that reason. There are parks readily accessible from all locations. I study the maps we have all the time to see where things are but then I just laugh b/c I really have no reference since I've never been to Prague.

I also have moments of wonder everyday. I wonder.....do they have American Cheese? What about chicken nuggets? Ziploc bags? etc. I know things are going to be different and that is exciting and I know that there will be everyday things that they won't have there and I just wonder what those everyday things are.
