Congratulations to Steve & Kate! It was a beautiful wedding and so much fun!
On Sunday we had a little labor day/going away party at Stephen's. It was wonderful to see everybody!
Today is supposed to be my major packing day, but every time I look at my little suitcases and the tornado-touch down zone that is my room I get a bit dismayed about fitting everything. I'm going to attempt to be a minimalist, knowing that Stephen can bring stuff in November. I can't believe I already sent some things over!
Well I've got a little less than 3 days at home and it's still hard to believe I'm really going. I am both excited to go and sad to leave. I've been making a lot of mental notes lately. For example, my house and yard are beautiful in the summer with all the greenery and especially when the sun is shining through the trees here and there. I love the warmness of the sun on my driveway when I take Gracie to get the mail. I want to remember how walking around the less populated parts of UConn's campus makes me think of God's goodness. How Stephen's touch can change everything. How happy my whole family was at Steve and Kate's wedding. How glad I felt reading birthday cards yesterday.
That my adventure is not an attempt to escape a dreary life is certainly a positive, though it makes it so much more difficult to go. On the bright side, time races on and it will be no time at all before I am looking back on this wonderful experience and reunited again with my family and friends on this side of the pond. I thank the Lord for His many blessings and praise His holy name.
