The simple thing is to begin.

However, getting ready to begin an adventure abroard with a family of 5 is not so simple.
How can we do this?
Where should we go?
What will we do with our house here?
How will our kids manage?
What do we pack?
Do we really want to spend THAT much time together?
How can we leave friends and family for so long?
What do we pack?
Can we really do this?
Should we really do this?

Well, at least we've answered the first 2 questions. The Sabins - Mike, Deb, Zach (12), Matt (8) and Elena (3) - will be spending the next two years in Colombia - land of epic beauty and infamous turmoil.

We are excited, nervous, dizzy, worried, crazy, completely ready and infinitely unprepared. Only five more weeks until departure, so we'll definitely be sprinting all the way to our plane!
