it all started Wednesday night (already). end of year party at the Breathing Room
the yoga studio I found 5 years ago. the place that embraced me from the beginning. the wonderful friendships that grew within.
we had the most wonderful kirtan session ever. energy that can't be put in words. all I can say is that I am so grateful for each and every step that took place in my Cairo-yoga-life.
our leaving party Thursday night
Cairo was definitely our party place. people like to get into their beautiful dresses and dance, drink, go crazy, be happy. yes, I warmed up to it and my wardrobe now includes a few pretty evening dresses :-)
so it was our turn to be the party reason...it was a fun night, but also the night (I knew) that'll make me realise it's real. this move is happening. and as ready as I am to move on, leaving my "everyday people" once again, is not an easy thing to do...

a quiet Friday with the girls
the sad news that one of our friends (one of our first Cairo connection) passed away, in the morning. left without words and in deep shock all went quietly.
pool-time with the girls, reading and resting.
still we got ourselves out to another leaving party at night. I am glad we did. thankful for the distraction and again, special people we say good bye to.
now here I am. grateful for some time just for me, as my man took the little girl and her friends on a fun outing and my big girl went for her riding lesson with a friend.
3 more weeks in the place we called home for the past 5 years. the roller coaster will continue, but I am grateful to go through it with the one person I need - my man. we decided on this life together and we can do it - together. keeping each other strong, letting every emotion be part of it and showing our kids once again, as long as the 4 of us are together - it's home.
not sure about any more posts before the move and over the summer...could be that I want and get the time to share a lot or not. just wanted to let you know.
good luck on your move! I find moving exciting and exhausting. I hope it goes smoothly for you and your family.
