Leaving Colorado

Luke returned from Melbourne on Wednesday. It was successful trip, with him finding a house the day before he left. I think it's going to be a perfect location for us. We are blocks from the zoo, Royal Park, grocery store and many other shops that I can't wait to explore.

We will be officially leaving Colorado on Tuesday. I don't think it's hit me yet that we won't be back for awhile. I'm really going to miss my life here in CO. We have such a great group of friends and neighbors that I'm going to miss. So many caring and giving people in my life here that I wish I could take them all with me! (starting to tear up now....)

There is a lot we still have to do before we go. Luke and I are going room to room sorting into two piles, keep and sell. Thank goodness there is a huge neighborhood yard sale going on tomorrow that we'll be able to unload a lot of random things.

The last two weeks Aunt Klaire was here to help while Luke was away. I am was so grateful to have her help. The boys love A.K. and she loves (to spoil) them. :) I know we'll be seeing a lot of her on skype/ichat while we're away.

The next 2 weeks are going to fly by. We have so much planned that August 1 will be here before we know it. I'm excited to get there and get settled, but don't think it will seem real until we are on the plane.

Here's to trying to stay grounded and present in these upcoming days before we depart for this exciting adventure!
