I'm so excited and I just can't hide it....
Only a week until Rylee and I take our long trip home. I am excited and a bit nervous about the long plane ride alone, going through customs with my luggage and Rylee, and finding the right gate for my connecting flight to SLC. I know I am a big girl, but I have actually never flown alone so it scares me a bit. Someone told me to pinch Rylee when we get in line to go through customs - then maybe they would move us to the front of the line, LOL!!
Although that part makes me nervous I am so excited to go home and see family and friends. Kev is a little nervous that I won't be coming back. I have a list of things to stock up on and a list of eating establishments that I have missed (I may come back a few pounds heavier). My calendar is full of lunch dates and dinner dates, visits with friends, and family functions. I originally thought three weeks would be too long - now I am not sure I can fit everything in. I am actually feeling loved because so many people want to see me while I am there - although I know that the truth is they want to see Rylee, she is adorable after all.
My list of things to do before next week is slowly getting smaller - these are still the things that need to be done:
- Write the Primary program - 90% done
- Get the parts all ready to hand out
- Get the next quarterly activity underway - good thing I have excellent counselors
- Set up play dates for the two kiddos - got a few done.
- Write a list of numbers down for Kev
- Explain to Kev how to do the laundry
- Stock up the cupboards and fridge
- Type up a list of important school things to remember - library day is Tuesday, what can and can't be taken for lunch and morning tea, sports uniform on Friday, etc
- Move some scrap kits to my thumb drive so I can take them with me - the hard drive is staying behind.
- Back-up my layouts and pictures on DVDs to take and leave with our storage items
- Entertain the kids for the first week of school holidays
- Pack and make sure the suitcases are slightly empty so we can bring stuff back.
I am sure I will get it all done and be fine - but as of now I look at that list and feel a bit overwhelmed. It will all be worth it though when I fly over the Wasatch Mountains and see many familiar faces. I can't wait!!

That is quite the list. Hope that you get everything done. If you get a free minute while you are here, I would love to have lunch with you, or a play date for Riley.
