We're coming to getcha...

So folks, we're all packed...bags are by the door...the feelings are beyond words...it seems we have waited forever but tonight we cannot believe the time has come. Eric & I had a moment in our back yard tonight when everything was finally packed...we lived the moment of the last night in this home that it will be just the two of us. Sixteen years, it has been just the two of us. Sixteen years. This isn't a new chapter in our lives...it's Mary & Eric: The Sequel...but unlike movies, I am confident that this sequel will match the magic of part I. Our flight is at 8 am, so we'll be up before the crack of dawn...it's past midnight here, and I just did a final OCD check on the paperwork...it's time for me to do my last dodo here...well actually, it'll be more like a nap! We're almost there baby girl...we're coming to getcha.
