And all of a sudden our lives get turned upside down. Last Friday, I got the offer. Senior Writer. And relocation to Europe with it. 

We were out there, invited to see a slice of the world we had been to for a four-hour layover 16 years ago when we were traveling through Western Europe and I was delusional from a fever and the solid grip of a cold. 

But now, I was being recruited. And we had a 100-hour rush on the other side of the world. You enjoyed museums, I hustled through two days of interviews on three hours of sleep total. And I was fabulous. We had a day and a little more to explore, but it was a place where we felt we could live. 

We’d pare down the essentials. We’d start over in a way. A new life, although you will keep your job, which is going to help our finances. I get a job writing at a major studio. 

Thank you for this. Thank you for being brave with me as we make this leap. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for being my wife.
