let’s do this thing!

So many days have gone by since I last blogged. I’m happy to say that I’ve been rather productive, even though I haven’t completed everything on my ‘To Do’ List (but does it ever really get completed?) And during that time, I’d be lying if I said that I haven’t wondered when our Travel Call would come. As the days ticked by we found things to fill up our time.

… like playing outside in the nice weather …

… eating snacks that you find completely addictive …

… watching your oldest graduate from Pre-School and wonder where the time has gone …

… and looking at a picture of your little man every day … wondering when he’ll come home …

I’ll admit … there were days in the not so recent past that were getting a bit difficult. It can be hard to see others get their Travel Calls, or their VI’s scheduled (Visa Interviews) and yours is no where in sight. At the same time, you keep reminding yourself that you’re extremely fortunate to even BE in the position you are: just waiting for your Travel Call. So you basically spend most of your day in a mental war, as you try and live life at the same time.

And then that moment happens … when you hear those magical words, ‘your son is ready to travel‘. And all of the sudden time seems to fly by and you don’t have enough hours in the day to get all the millions of things done that suddenly seem to appear.

but I did make time to get my hair done.

So now I’m REALLY going to get back to blogging, as I actually have something to blog about now! I loved writing about my last trip to Korea and I’m hoping to have so many more fun memories. Which I know I will, as Bob is going with me this time. The kiddos are going to my parents (which they are THRILLED about) and I’m going to be busy these next couple of days tying up all the loose ends before we leave. Which by the way, we’re leaving on Monday, and we’re getting Callahan on Friday. Can you believe it?!?!
