Today is the big day, we are officially off. The drive will start at 10:00 am today and will end (if all goes by the plan) by 10:00 pm on Thursday night. I will be sure to take tons of pictures documenting our wonderful and crazy and exciting trip. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we hit the road hard and heavy. (Or maybe you should keep every other driver in your prayers as we will be flying down that interstate! Shhh, don’t tell the authorities!)

I had so many things to say, but I can’t seem to get my thoughts together today. I am sure it is a bit of anxiety, nervousness, exhaustion and excitement about the trip. Maybe by the time I can give you an update, I will be better prepared to talk.

This will be the longest trip that I have ever taken without Daven. So I am not sure what my mood will be towards the end of my stay in D.C. I will be leaving him here with Logan and his GranZ & PapaT. (I am worried that the hardest part will be actually coming home to him. When I see that he hasn’t even noticed I have been gone. That to me, is heart wrenching.) Please also, keep GranZ, PapaT, Logan and Daven in your prayers.

I will, however, have Lisa and Emma and Baby Tatum to spoil while I am there. And yes, I will be doing some serious spoiling and buying pink dresses! ;-) No need to worry, I can give short updates while I am gone. Possibly even add a few pictures to show off.

Thanks for your prayers and thoughts everybody. Now break out the IPod, conversation questions, and portable DVD player…Load em’ up and lets roll!
