And We're Off!

With less than eighteen hours to go, Brandon and I find ourselves a little lost for words. There are people we wish we could see, things we wish we could do and places we'd like to visit before we leave this country behind. But, as we had anticipated, the time to depart has come so quickly that we can't say goodbye in person to many people that we cherish. Also, the few big goodbye's have left us emotionally weary and anxious. And despite our excitement, we can't help but wonder if the journey we're embarking on with be worth the pain and tears. Since this time is so painful and tearful, it's hard to imagine that any one place could be worth it.
So, when the weepy haze clears, we'll be sure to let you know.

The next time you hear from us, I will be writing from the Land of the Long White Cloud.

Kristen and Brandon

The goodbyes are definitely the absolute worst part of such a move.... but now you get to say a whole bunch of hellos. We were sorry we couldn't be at the airport to be one of your first hellos, but we had a houseful of people who were leaving the same day.... hopefully we can catch up soon.
