You understand what coming a full circle means at times like this.
Last year, we had been all excited, packing, planning and getting ready to move back to India. We hadn’t booked tickets, but pretty much everything else was done and dusted.
This year, I am getting ready to do the reverse. Packing, planning and getting ready to go back. I had never thought this would happen. My friends had been a little shocked that we had not booked return tickets as a back up. But then, I was super confident that we would settle in fine, and we did too. But fate, clearly had different plans. Husband’s job was the deal breaker. We had given it time till March, and now it is finally decision time.
We still haven’t booked tickets but the decision has been taken -kind of. There is really no option, as daughter puts it. So we have to just go. Do whatever it takes to get everything sorted and re-start the life we left there, but in a different city.
And how do I feel. Sad..but excited about being together as a family.. And all hope is not lost – yet. We can still try to come back here, only the next time, we are definitely moving back together after husband gets a job. That I guess, can count as a lesson learnt, I guess. And this time that we spent here, showed us that it is no big deal to relocate and settle down. It has reinforced our belief that we would not find it tough to resettle here. And this time, we have even more friends(family has always been there) to look forward to when we come back here. Actually, not just us, but daughter has her friends too. So yes, definitely more to look forward to, when we return.
For now, we pack our stuff, store our memories.. give away our plants and plan for a new life in the not-so-new country.
First!
Hugs Smithu!

All the very best! I love relocating… have done some 10 re-locations in 16 years (includes 6 cities and 4 states). Love the new places, new people, new decor of the home and also frequent de-cluttering! 😀
Thank you! While I don’t LOVE relocating, I do like meeting new people, setting up a new life, new challenges.. I just calculated, I have moved 13 times in the last 13 years, 6 cities, 3 continents:) I’ve hated some parts of the relocation process, and loved others:)
