3 more sleeps!

In 3 more sleeps me and the kids (and maybe lawrence, fingers crossed) will be piling into our minivan

and heading out onto the open road! First stop (other than the 1 million stops for suthers, bottles, snacks, potty breaks, leaky diapers, and general screams) will be Quesnel which is were i'm from. My baby brother Jason married his high school sweetheart (awww, so sweet) last October and their having a reception for all the folks that didnt' make it to the short notice wedding. It will be grand to see all the family in one place! I'm also hoping to catch up with a few friends from the old high school days which should be fun (i need to see that baby Jeff!). Sunday morning i'm planning to take the kids to our old church, i'm so looking forward to seeing some of the people who made a huge impact on my life at a young age and helped to lead me closer to the love of my life (give a shout out to God)!! Monday the 21st we will pile back into our beloved van (see above caption) and head down the winding highway to Terrace!!! Yippee!! We moved from our favorite place 3.5 months ago now and I can't tell you how much we've missed it! don't get me wrong, I love red deer! It has been so amazing to build a stronger and closer relationship to Marcie and Kenny (amazing people!) and to finally get to know some of my family from my dads side!!! These are relationships that we will always have now, what a blessing!! But alas, will our hearts always rest in the rainforest like foliage of Terrace B.C. (empashis on "rain")? Maybe so. More than Terrace is the people who dwell there, i just cant wait to see everyone! Is it too early to start packing? i think so.....maybe tomorrow.

Oh you have me bawling! I can't even begin to express how much you are missed! 3.5 MONTHS??!! It has felt like an eternity!! Honestly!
Its like...
...a wave with no shore
...a bird with no song
...a kite with no wind
...a chip with no guacamole
It just isn't the same without you!!
And now that I've been severely corny, I will say goodbye & see you 5 sleeps!!!!!!
