Saying goodbye

This last week has been a little bit more calm. Now that we know when we're leaving we've been able to visit with some people and say goodbye. We've been doing some shopping as we were warned that it's very difficult for Canadians to find clothes there as we tend to be bigger people in weight and height. It's very difficult to plan a wardrobe for a whole year! Other than that it's been making sure we'll have medical insurance, tying up loose ends here and there and tying to fit in as much visiting as possible. Curtis' cousins Joe and Nikki came up from Texas this week and it was also a great chance to visit with them. Auntie Roseanne and Uncle Rodney made the trip out from Kelsey to wish us well. It wasn't too hard to say goodbye because we haven't seen some of these people in over a year, and the distance won't be felt as much. When it came time to say goodbye to Chris and Ferd though, it was so difficult. Maybe because we've been staying here and it's been so nice to be around them. We're just starting to get used to being close and now we're off. I'm sure it will be very similar when we wave Mom and Dad off at the airport. We're really excited about going, but saying goodbye is always bittersweet.
