Freakin' out

I've been looking at my calender counting down the days until we pack up our little family and head west. My heart is happy and heavy at the same time. I've never been away from my family before and I feel like one of my lifelines is being severed. I know in reality it isn't really but try to tell your emotions to act rational. It saddens me to think of my parents not seeing Noodlegirl walk and all her new words but in my heart, I know the Lord has pointed us in this direction. It feels exciting to kind of start a "new" life out there. Our little family will grow even tighter than we already are. Here we go, 6 more days of nannying, Thanksgiving, then gone!
