The desire to move abroad with our kids was something we dreamt about for years. It always seemed as though it would remain a dream and never a reality we would live out together.

When we officially made the decision to move abroad, the undertaking of liquidating and leaving was monumental…both logistically, as well as psychologically and emotionally.

We still had our full busy lives to keep up with, plus a new full-time job of undoing our life in Santa Barbara.
