Six Days and Counting

Hey Everyone! We're at six days and counting down now...We've been organizing the house, which is pretty close to being finished, and now it's time to do the final stretch of preps before our trip. Yes, there's a list, and the goal is to have that list finished by the time our heads hit the pillows on Wednesday night. This is necessary, as I am driving up to Ft. Worth on Thursday with my Mom and my daughter in order to meet my sister at the halfway point between here and Ok. City, where my sister lives with her family. Britt will stay with my sister and the cousins for three weeks, and Britt is so excited; You should see her...jumping up and down at the thought of being with her four cousins and all the activities that my sister has planned for them while she's there. The only time that is different is night-time, when Britt grabs me as hard as she can and tells me how much she will miss me; *deep sigh*...I wouldn't go, except that I want my daughter to have adventures and see the world, and not think that just because you love someone so much, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't see the world and grow, and then come home to share it all with that person/those people. I want her to be a strong woman, a smart woman, and a compassionate, loving woman, and I hope she will see that.

Deb is so awesome...She will include Britt in all of the camping trips/salon trips/Build-a-Bear trips/Bible lessons/reading/play and fun trips that all the others will be doing, and I am so grateful to have a sister who is so loving and kind, and such a good Aunt to my daughter.

Well, I have to continue our chores...I will get the car worked on tomorrow morning (finally), and I have a dentist appt. at 1:00 pm tomorrow. Mark is taking J and K to Six Flags, so I will finish more chores when I get home tomorrow from the dentist...Oh! And the yard-work! Yipes!
