Leaving TODAY

Today is the big day, and I do mean BIG day. I will be leaving for the airport shortly. My flight actually leaves at 2:00pm and I will not be in Ballyvaughan until tomorrow evening, around 7:30pm. I had a bit of a moment last night where I finally realized how big this all is and of course was then completely freaked out. Good news is that I could actually sleep some and I am now more excited than nervous. I have plenty of reading material for the plain and my ipod is fully charged. I think I am prepared but if I am not, I am sure I will either be able to buy what I need or live through it and move on. Wish me well.

Jo,
I am so very excited for you! I'm sure by the time you read this you'll be so excited to see a computer! Anxious to get in touch with all of us back home. I'm sorry I cried when we had to get off the phone. I just feel that you have become my best friend and it's hard to watch you go. I know you only deserve the best and this is going to be one of the best adventures of your life! I can't wait to see all the wonderful magic that you create and hear about all of your exciting adventures. ----Your sis---Julz :-)

It's a little after 9:00 and I'm wondering where you are right now. I sure hope your flight is comfy and your not stuck in the middle of two individuals.
I cannot wait to read your next post on your blog and hear about your adventures as well as see the first photos.
Thinking of you...

Are you there yet? Are you there yet? How about now?
I know it's obnoxious, but it's totally what I've been thinking all day. I've even being trying to figure out the time difference, how long your flight is, etc. etc.
Tonight was another fabulous get together. The only thing missing was YOU.
Love from Becker...

Okay, it's official, your sister and I have now become facebook friends so we can miss you together...and you just left! We had a great time tonight at dinner and the movie, except Sarah Jessica had a dead bird in her hair, it was not a good look. Hope you have arrived and are getting over your jet lag...
