Wait, you’re leaving?
Yep! We’re moving to New Zealand.
When?
Our plane takes off on December 30.
Forever?!?
Not sure! For at least two years. After that, we’ll see!
Do you guys just hate Indianapolis now or something?
Far from it. We’ll miss Indy dearly, and it will always be home to us. Particularly Windsor Park, Theodore Potter School 74, and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
Where are you going?
To New Zealand! The Maori call it “Aotearoa.” I thought we covered this.
😠 What city, funny guy?
Ah, that. We’re going to Auckland, at least to start.
You’re all going?
Leaving your kids alone while you travel to an antipode is kind of frowned upon, so yeah, all six of us are going.
Whoa.
That’s not a question. …but, yeah.
Why?
We get into that more in another post. But, short answer: we wanted an adventure, Natalie wants to go back to school, David can do his job from anywhere in the world, and New Zealand looked like a great place!
How?
We get into that more in another post, too. But, short answer: on an airplane.
No, like…how could you?
Oh. Well…that sounds like maybe something we should work through in person? With maybe a strong drink?
