We're leaving when?! (Aug 23)

WOW! Time flies. This Friday we're leaving on a trip we've been planning for three years. Well, planning is a strong word...we've been dreaming about it...there hasn't been much planning at all! That's the best part. For once we just want to fly by the seat of our pants and live life moment to moment. It's exciting, but scary at the same time. It's a huge leap of faith but we know it's going to be freakin' awesome! There is no denying that leaving will be hard. Up until now we've been in a bit of denial about how hard it will really be to leave our family and friends. There have been a lot of tears this week and there are surely more around the corner. It's difficult to picture being gone during some really special times coming up. We're going to miss new babies, weddings, birthdays, Christmas and so much more. In the end though, this is something we have to do. Perhaps only the two of us can really understand why. It's like that old cliche...feel the fear and do it anyway.
