i am sort of freaking out about random things recently. freaking is probably a bit of an exaggeration, so perhaps anxiousness is more fitting...
here they are:
1. i had all of our pics saved to my computer. before chris left, we got a mega external hard drive. i am seriously talking mega. i couldn't fill this sucker up if i took 100 photos everyday for the rest of my life. it has massive storage. however, the anxiousness is starting to rear its ugly head as visions of that thing crashing flashes through my mind. sooooo, i am thinking of moving all my files to an online storage company. anyone done this? the prices seem very reasonable, but i am concerned about the accessibility. i want to be able to pull a picture or two at a whim.
2. i turn 32 tomorrow. yikes. i don't feel old and i don't think i look it. in fact, most of my students--granted middle schoolers have no sense of age, which is probably why i love them so--think i am in my 20's. anyway, crazy to think that i am moving in that direction. i quickly did some calculations as chris and i would like a couple more kiddos to add to our brood and i could quickly become a very old momma as the youngest graduates high school. oiy! now if only the AF would get on the same page---we are on a schedule!! ha.
3. chris and i will soon be together. i am so excited. i have never flown overseas before so this will be a fantastic first for me, but we have also never left our children for even so much as a night of alone time. it isn't that we haven't wanted to, but being so far away from trusted family has not made it an option. leaving our kids with my parents will be so hard. i know they are going to be in the best hands and probably will have more fun than imaginable, but the mere thought brings hives to my chest. chris thinks i am going to be a mess and i think he is so right. who would've guessed i have control issues? ha. don't answer that alison, april or jessica. i am guessing those would be the peanut gallery chiming in on that point--however, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

P.S. Have you purchased your ticket yet??
Kids and the age thing.. it amuses me to heat the things that come out of their mouths. Lord knows they will keep me feeling young!
Enjoy your time with your husband!
I am excited for you to fly overseas. I think you'll enjoy it.
Have fun.
