Drew and I are all packed and anxiously waiting to go to the airport. As we sit here, I've been reflecting on all of the 'lasts' that we've had this week...
-last time grocery shopping at Harris Teeter
-last week for Drew to eat his turkey sandwiches & pretzels for lunch
-last time eating at some of our favorite restaurants
-last week to watch US television
-last time shopping at Target
-last week driving on the right side of the road & the right side of the car
-last night snuggle with our dog
-last morning for Drew to eat Life cereal
-last time saying goodbyes that we've dreaded for so long
But in the midst of alllllllllll of those things that we'll be saying goodbye to and leaving behind, I'm getting very excited about allllllllllll of the FIRSTS that we'll get to have after a quick 24-hour day of flying.

Cheers!

I love you darlin' and am so glad you and Drew get to have this amazing adventure together! I can't wait to hear about every little detail! As I write this, you still have about 5 hours of flying time and I'm guessing you're not real happy at this moment! But soon the fun will begin!!!
