Farewell Seattle

Well the day has finally arrived. Ryan and I fly out tomorrow (Monday) at 4:30 pm to embark on our new European adventure. I have mixed emotions as I say goodbye to our families and friends. However, I know we are following God's will as we make this epic move across nine time zones to our new home in The Hague, Netherlands.

I am truly excited to share my journey with you as we become expats in Holland. I am starting this blog so we can keep in touch with family and our dear friends. I have always secretly wanted to be a writer and perhaps this online journal will be a catalyst for something bigger. Who knows? The world is definitely my oyster! When thinking about a title for my new blog, Postcards From Far Away was the first idea to pop in my head. You may know that it is the title to a beautiful, yet simple piano piece by Coldplay. Most of my friends know that I am a big Coldplay fan, and an even bigger fan of the lead singer, Chris Martin. I will save that topic for a future blog. But the idea of postcards also came to my mind as a theme. What is a postcard? A 3x5 card with pictures from far-a-way places with a few words scrawled on the back. Wish you were here. Hope all is well. Write soon. I love receiving postcards from my friends who are traveling all over the world. And so you will be receiving some postcards from me.

Ok well that is all for now. My next post will be from the Netherlands. This isn't goodbye Seattle. It's just see you later.
