Wow, yeah. Your life probably would be totally different now had you decided to just go ahead and move. Yes, the blood moons were really an interesting time. I'm glad you were able to move next to your parents and have them spend all that time with their grandkids (and you)! It is a good idea to have an exit plan just in case it is necessary - and for everyone in the family to have a passport. Can't do much without passports. That's the first step we had to take - renewing and acquiring passports for everyone. :)
