1 Week to go

You wouldn't believe it but it's true: only one week left before we will fly to Germany. Who is excited? *me me me* Interestingly, it seems that my husband feels the same way. Ok, maybe not as excited as me but somewhere in the range of "cool" I would say.

It's getting serious now and I am starting to be kind of like scared. It also seems there are so many things left before we fly that I am not sure where to begin.

How is this trip going to be? It's the first time flying Canada-Germany-Canada and while I am happy to see my friends and family it still needs to sink in that this is a holiday. Do I make sense? It's not that I am going home, because I am home in Saskatoon, but not really...

Does anyone understand this? *crazy*

I am sorry if this post is sort of weird, I guess that's how I just feel like right now.

Frankly, I am also worrying about work. I'll be gone three weeks and I hope that there will be no big things coming up they have to worry about. *more sighs* This is totally crazy.

so happy for you! It is exciting to go "home". We've felt the same way going back to Texas or for me, back here when we lived in Texas. It's also weird because you change and "home" changes and life changes you and so there is some feeling that you no longer belong and yet that place shaped who you are too... Missed you today, but know that you have LOTS on your mind and prepping right now to head out. Hope your vacation is all you hope it to be and more!

I'm sooo looking forward to Sunday! And as to "What's home now? How's it gonna be?" etc pp: I know the feeling, and it takes time to accept that home (thinking of living at home with your Mom, for example) is not one but several places (what am I telling you? See I'm as confused and excited as you).

Anyways, I still know the feeling seeing you vanish through the security gates at Leipzig airport - and get teary-eyed just thinking about it. You're my best friend. No thousands of miles of distance can change that.

I am glad that I am not the only one who feels so weird.

Caro, I am afraid you will have to wait until Monday. Yes, you read that right. It's terrible but due to the time change we won't get in until 2 p.m. on Monday. Still hope you can make it, somehow. If not, I might party crash your new home Monday evening. (No matter how sleepy I am.)
