So nice to hear back from you horsecab! Sounds like you have been pretty busy getting all your ducks in a row for this move of a lifetime for you! I'm excited for you, even though I understand you are fearful of making this move.
Proud of you for sticking to your guns and your decision to do this. Remember, one step at a time, breathe deeply and keep moving. Sounds like you are doing a great job of overcoming your fear of leaving your home to experience something wonderful for yourself.
Looking forward to your updates! Take care
