It may seem pathetic that everything has a countdown and is so meticulously divided, but looking at 2 months stretched ahead of me.....let's just say I had to make little check points so that it didn't seem so ridiculously long and so I wouldn't go crazy. 2 weeks I can deal with, 2 months equaling 60 days - that gets a little harder. But as of today, I'm halfway through those stupid phases!
Everyone keeps telling me enjoy this time and to make all these memories. All I can say is....seriously? I'm dying here!! I'm sure I'll look back and realize just how very short of a wait it is, but for now I'm wishing it away. I'm going to take Anna's advice though, and start taking a lot of pictures, so that I can relive everything that I'm determined NOT to remember right now. Who wants to remember pain and agony? (Just ask Bryan.)
But, I want to thank the Douma's for being a wonderful family to let me stay with them for 3 weeks and never complaining. I have worked with Samantha, her mother, Leone, and her father, Hans, for the past 2 years. It's been interesting getting to know them better. And for the Ken Stiles' family who are going to let Bryan stay with them for the next 2 and a half weeks until we get to leave. You guys are lifesavers!!
