We’re half way and spending the night in Idaho. Crossing the border was a piece of cake! And I totally stunk at saving my emotions for Denver. SO MUCH has been going on in the past two and a half weeks that I just cannot bottle up any emotions, good or bad. And so I cried like a baby saying goodbye to my family on Thursday. I love waving to my Mom and whoever else stays at the window with her whenever we drive away from their house. As you can imagine it was extra tender as we drove away Thursday night and I waved like a maniac and cried my eyes dry. And then this morning, Vienna broke down when we were leaving and was the only one of the children who actually understood the magnitude of what was happening, and of course I could not withstand her tears and my own seeped through. I hate goodbyes. Really. I’m all about the clean break. Ugh. Once I have all my stuff again right? My worldly possessions will fill the void. Please fill the void.
