Preparing for our Return

It's been a crazy few years, and an especially strange last 6 months in the household.  We moved out of our apartment in December, thinking that we were soon to be arriving in Vermont, but a job that Bryce had been promised fell through.  The temporary living arrangement we then secured of flatting with 3 others turned semi-permanent; we've been here 5 months now and are leaving the country in another month, via SE Asia.

The topic of conversation between B and I the last year has been-- do we move or stay?  Why?  We've finally decided to move back to the States because we just need a good dose of family and our old friends, as well as that feeling of being home and comfortable.  I know that when I move back and get in the swing of things again, I'll remember the beauty of NZ, how I could take a gorgeous run or drive along the coast whenever I feel like it, and I'll kick myself for moving.  What has reconciled me to moving is knowing that the US isn't better or worse than NZ, it's just different.  We love the two places equally and definitely plan on moving back.  Just how soon is the big ?
