Moving Day... BitterSweet 5/3/10

Well. It came. Moving day. 

The day that brought our two worlds colliding in emotions, leaving the one we know and moving to the one we will once again learn to know.  One chapter ending and we flip the page to the one to come.  I think we all felt *REALITY* was finally here. Twelve hours of the sound of tape ripping, watching our earthly possession being bubble wrapped, boxed up and labeled was a day full of excitement coupled with the reality that our life here in Buraimi is over.  So, there was a sense of sadness that wafted through the air as well.  Bitter, yet sweet.  Inside the house where there was a lot of hard work going on, outside the house there was a lot of curious faces peering in and getting the first taste of their own reality.  Many neighbors stood at the gate and asked questions and watched the men as they worked.  Some came in tears and confusion wondering if we were leaving that very day.  Children took one last opportunity to play on the quarter pipe and run through our yard.  I loved hearing their giggles and laughter as they played there one last time.
