Dave and Charlie are cuddled on the couch for one last cuddle session before we leave. It's only a few short hours before we begin our journey to Ukraine and emotions are running high. The thought of having to leave my puppies for two months brings me to tears... a lot of tears.
Bags are packed and lists have been checked, double checked and rechecked. Probably a couple more Facebook posts before we take off, but other than that, we are ready to go.
It's amazing and mind blowing to think that after almost ten years of marriage, we will go away on a cross world tour and return home with a child or two. My mind still can't grasp it, but my heart is ready. I am ready to start a family with new adventures. Although the journey from where we started to now has been an unexpected and spontaneous ride, our hearts are ready to take on the new challenge of finding "the one" (or two).
We have been so blessed during this time that words cannot express. The love and support that has poured in from so many people has been overwhelming. The unexpected strangers like the RBC teller who shed tears of gratefulness that someone is "doing something good," the MPI agent who was moved by tears when we explained why we wanted lay up insurance on our car, to the soon-to-be grandparents who have prayed day and night for the new grandchild(ren), to the extended family who wish us nothing but future happiness friends, coworkers, bosses, HR support (Joanne, you rock!) who have moved mountains, completed forms, set up accounts and cleaned dust bunnies for us, we love you and thank you for all you have done.
Only 5.5 hours...
