Two weeks...

Two weeks from now we will be on the plane embarking on this new grand adventure. There still feels like so much to do but we are getting there. Slowly.  The next two weeks are filled with packing, moving, cleaning, selling, and partying. B. turns 8! on Wednesday. Where has my little baby gone? She is an amazing kid with a big heart, a great sense of humor, and an inquisitive mind.  I have so much to say about this whole moving and relocating process but I can't find the words.  Instead here is a picture of our beautiful rhodies and my silly girl.

I am used to knowing my way around the area, running into old friends at Wegmans, and the comforts of home. I haven't been new to an area in more than a decade. I am nervous about living in a new city, a new country(!), learning how to navigate a public transit system (ok, I am really excited about that one), settling in to a new house, and meeting new people. Journaling has helped me through some difficult times so I am hoping this blogging gig will help as well.  Things ...
