12 hours and ughhhh......

It's last second panic time, but the end is in sight. The last two days have been final goodbyes with neighbors, family and friends. Special thanks to Craig and Marci for the great cake! Bryan and Tracey will be here soon, and the house doesn't get much better than this. Next stop is Washington DC for the Fulbright Orientation with Bryan and Tracey. After four months of planning, its time to get going with this! Time to go, we've got a 5 a.m. wake up right around the corner.

Four days to go......

I'm not sure how good I'm going to be at this blog thing. Hard to believe four weeks has passed since the last entry. We had a nice send-off from our friends at the Windsors' last night. The kids (Ainsley was home with grandma) got to swim and posed for a quick picture before heading home. A huge thanks to everyone for the wonderful food and company. You will be missed, but we're counting on pulled-pork again when we return.

We're knee-deep in packing at this point, as well as last-second errands and preparation. I'm sure everything will get taken care of, but it's hard to imagine at times. To be honest is still feels a bit surreal, I don't think I'll believe it until we get off the plane.

Will: I'm going to miss my friends Hudson, Maddie, Anya, Jackson, Sloane, Andrew, Grace, and Arthur. I want to see the Pars play and to visit France. I want to see the London Tower Bridge.

Ainsley: Nothing really to say. Happy Birthday Irene.
