Once again, quite the week. Monday and Tuesday the movers finished their work. The shipping container came earlier than expected, so we didn't do the planned final check. They forgot some things. We will try to bring some of it in our luggage on the plane, but it's a pain. Otherwise it all went very smoothly and they were great guys! I had my goodbye dinner with some colleages from work on Tuesday. They got me a really nice gift.
On Wednesday the girls had their goodbye party at school, and after school. At school, they got to play lots of fun games. After school, they brought a few friends back to the Bosrand, and even got to play outside a bit even though there was a big storm that day. It was a really special day for them.
On Thursday we sold our house. The notary was a funny guy. He had a whole comedy routine prepared. So happy we found such a great lady to buy our house! We hope she will be as happy there as we have been.
Friday was the last day of school for me and the girls. My goodbye speech got a bit messed up as the principal said most of the stuff that my colleage had prepared to say, so I felt bad for my colleage who had worked so hard to prepare and was feeling nervous about it. He made some jokes and everyone laughed, but he was pretty upset afterwards. The speeches went on for way too long, so I left early because we had to send the money from our house sale to the US to pay for the next one. Tight timeline.
Yesterday Naomi's oldest friend Annemiek and her boyfriend came to say goodbye along with Naomi's dad and Edith. We had pancakes for lunch here at the Bosrand and then went to the castle for the last time for dinner. The girls did not like their food. They are totally done with all the unhealty food and all the goodbyes. It's time to pack up and get on that plane!
