The excitement in the Johnston household is palpable this morning. We had a great weekend and went out with some great friends (last moments of adult freedom for awhile). We are getting our poop in a group this morning. You would think we would have started packing by now, but we really aren’t the advanced packer kind of family. My methods are very abstract, but it seems to work out…other than the time I forgot my bathing suit in Mexico.
Lots to do today…pick up more leaves in the yard, get Jake a haircut, get Lucy (dog) groomed, pick up last minute items from Target and a bunch of other stuff I am probably forgetting.
I have to say, it feels more real to me today. Since we found out we are traveling, it hasn’t really hit me. Jen will say things like, “We will meet Halle in 4 days” and that makes me really happy, but I am having a hard time imagining that it is really going to happen. I know…ridiculous.
Ok, off to packing! Check back soon!
I’m so excited for you guys! Tweet and blog a lot! FUN FUN FUN!
I’ll be thinking of you…
I’ve been thinking of you guys a lot today…knowing how excited you must be and how much you have to do. My husband asked me if you had blogged today and I said you probably had not…because you’d be too busy…but then I checked and YES, THERE YOU ARE! Cool! Your travel documents look mighty familiar. Yay! Happy packing & happy trails…with your mules.
I will be thinking about you all this week. You finally get to meet your daughter and she finally gets to meet her parents. You’ve waited much longer than most and I hope she is everything you dreamed of and more.
