The End of a Chapter

I am sitting in my in-laws living room, in my pajamas, listening to family pour in the door to say their last goodbyes. My husband is fighting his urge to pack all day because, currently, half of our stuff is scattered around the house. My son is being passed around for kisses and cheek-pinches. And, I'm sure that none of us have any real idea about what to expect tomorrow.

I know that I will cry. I know that Wade will probably not, trying to suck it up to make it easier on his mom. Squirt will happily sit in his car seat and giggle and play as we drive off into the sunrise on our way to our new life.

My last day in the states. My last day in Texas. My last day surrounded by family.

As we close this chapter, I just want to say thank you to everyone that has helped us along the way. I know that I wouldn't have the strength or the courage (or the the excitement) to face this new world without the influence of the people in my life. Thank you for everything. Truly everything.

Happy Trails.
