Three Weeks from Today

Three weeks from today, we will be flying to Austria.

Three weeks from today, I will leave my family, my friends, and everything that feels familiar and safe.

Three weeks from today, I will be jet-lagged, haggard-looking (hey, if I'm lucky), and confused by all of the announcements and signs in German.

And three weeks from today, I will finally be able to search for a job and meet potential employers! and we will be living together as a married couple!  and we can decorate and set up our little slice of heaven, however small, in whatever way we see fit! and we will be able to go to Germany, to Italy, to Switzerland, and to the countries where our ancestors came from!

Every choice comes with consequences.

Every choice made to do something is also a choice made to not do something.

Months ago we made a choice, and three weeks from today, our choice to go is our choice not to stay.
