Sunday!

I think most of you know from my Facebook page, but we are flying to Wales on Sunday! This coming Sunday! I knew it was coming soon but just having the date and tickets makes it seem so real. We are thankful for the extra time we have had with family and friends, it's been really, really good. Which just means the goodbyes are super tough.

My back is healing and since we have decided against surgery at this point, there is no point in sitting around here. Physical therapy has really helped ease some discomfort plus given me some tools to have if my back acts up again. I'm very nervous about the flight- not only juggling the girls but just doing so in a way that does not cause strain on my lower back. Even if the girls behave and do sleep, I probably won't be sleeping for long just to avoid becoming stiff. Sitting is really the worst position for me, so this will be interesting! I have visions of me laying flat on my back in my wonderful bed in my house in Cardiff and I can't wait!!!

So, what am I looking forward to about going back to Wales? Here's my list in no particular order:

*my bed, my house, my kitchen, etc
*ROUTINE
*school starting (just keeping it real)
*the electric kettle
*catching up with our elderly neighbors and hearing him complain about the parking in front of our house
*our church and our friends!
*cooler temps!
*seeing our university students

What am I going to miss in Texas? Again, in no particular order:

*Sonic
*cheaper prices
*my family
*my friends
*the malls
*Target

I know there a lot more for both of those lists, but I will leave it at that. We fly on Sunday, around 3pm. Dallas-Amsterdam-Cardiff. We value your prayers- for health before and during travel, for safety during the flights and for peace and just a calmness to cover all of five of us. I get so stressed worrying about other people and I just HATE it when we board a plane and I see people's eye roll as we walk by. I mean, like I WANT my baby crying and disturbing everyone? Please! So if I can just stay calm and relaxed I know that will help us all!

We will update here and Facebook once we arrive and I get to lay flat in my bed :) We love you all and appreciate your prayers as we say goodbye and explain again to the girls what God has called us to do for this season of our lives. In the words of Bailey, "Saying goodbye is really hard!"
