Tomorrow's the Day!!!!!!!






Well, the time has flown by, and we leave tomorrow to start our journey! (*NOTE* _SO_ FLIPPIN' EXCITED!!!) We had our last day of work last Monday, and a fabulous kareoke party to celebrate. We have never seen so much enthusism for Styx's "Come Sail Away" as we saw that night! And then a week of madly dashing around provisioning Minor Key and tieing up loose ends. We did take a day off Friday to go pay homage to Mt. Hood; I had never been up in the almost 8 years I've lived here. So we HAD to take the time to see Zig Zag Falls, Timberline Lodge, and Little Crater Lake. Basically, the days have been filled with errands, and the nights filled with visiting our amazing friends and saying goodbye (we have had some DELICIOUS meals prepared for us this week! thank you Jeni and Mish!). No time for crying yet, but that will come. It's actually _very_ hard to leave your life and everything you've known for 8-10 years and your friends, your security, and your whole reality and PLAN to turn your world upside down! Gee! Who would have guessed? My much beloved big brother Chris came up yesterday and has been graced to witness the insanity (it's his birthday today-HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!) So yeah! We leave tomorrow, at 2 pm. Lovely people are coming down tomorrow at 1 pm to say goodbye, and we set sail at 2 pm! Well, we are running out of time, so we'll wrap this up! Wish us well and send us your prayers, because they certainly can't hurt!
Good energy is good energy! LOVE YOU ALL! THANKS FOR READING, and the next blog shouldn't be quite as crazy...
cathy and michael, over and out!
