An International Move: By the Numbers

Our friend Lori Brooks has done this several times on her blog . I always enjoy it and so I thought I would give it a shot as a summary of the International planning experience.

4 - number of garage sales
5- ads placed to sell furniture
21 - large pieces of furniture liquidated
2 - vehicles sold
4 - going away parties
4219- miles between Lakeland and Edinburgh
3666- nautical miles between Lakeland and Edinburgh
541 - maximum number of miles we have ever lived away from parents
2 - jobs from which we have resigned
1- jobs God has already provided in Edinburgh
30- total seconds that we have thought this might be the wrong decision
3 - number of years we will spend in Edinburgh
1/2 - amount of her life Delaney will have spent in Edinburgh when we return
0 - number of friends and family who have not been supportive
45 - original number of boxes (not including luggage) we intended to ship
6 - times we have reduced that number
16 - total number of luggage and boxes we are taking with us (including carry ons)
1- number of taxis we hope to cram all of that into in Edinburgh
1 - probable number of trips home we will make
