Flights booked!
Jason and I have started the moving process in full now. We have made our to do list and have divided the items to complete. It feels much better having our lists in place and knowing when everything has to be completed. Last night we booked our flights back to America (the girls and I on April 16, Watson on April 18 and Jason on April 23rd) . Finally booking the flights was a big hurdle for me. It makes it seem real and definite. I wanted to feel excited about the flights but I actually felt sick to my stomach. I realized that I felt like I was in a sort of limbo...I can't stay/don't want to stay but also am nervouse about making the transition back to the States so it is a can't stay but not ready to leap forward yet either. Today I am feeling better about it but am still a bit torn. As I have said to the kids and Ali repeats back to me often, "it is happy and sad". Either way the limbo feelings won't last forever though becuase come April 16th the girls and I will be on a flight bound for the United States. Even as I write this a smile comes to my face...maybe my limbo feelings will end sooner than I think! We're coming home!!!!

How exciting! I can imagine the limbo feeling - big transition. But what an amazing time you all had over there - you all are very lucky to have had that experience. Look forward to seeing you!
A line from a favorite movie seems fitting -"beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it’s the middle that counts the most. Try to remember that when you find yourself at a new beginning. Just give hope a chance to float up. And it will…" Can you guess the movie?
Can't wait for your return!

Must be Hope Floats although I don't think I have ever watched it.
