Ambien - Here we come!

Jon and I are leaving today!  I can't believe the day has finally arrived.  I'm scared, nervous, anxious and excited but mostly hopeful for what the future holds.  We dropped the girls off in Salem over the weekend.  The ride home sure was quiet.  We also went out to dinner at Applebee's last night.  Big mistake for me!  I got really sick...maybe it is nerves though!  (I thought this was supposed to happen in Ukraine!)   Jon had to dig through all of our luggage to get me some medicine.  Today I am feeling better and plan to take some Ambien on the plane and pass out until I wake up in Amsterdam.  I am missing the girls and it is weird to be in an empty house.  I missed going to get Hadley out of her crib this morning and bringing her back to my bed to snuggle.  Kailyn, I miss you filling the house with your singing and laughter!  I know this trip will really make me thankful for all that I have (I already am!)  Maybe it will even make our kids appreciate us more. Hahahah!  I want to send out a GIANT THANK-YOU to Grammy and Grampy Cain, Nana and Papa Parkinson, Aunt Kylie and Uncle Jake for taking care of the girls...and anyone else who may be helping.  Thanks to our neighbors Tony and Michele for taking care of our house and the crazy cats, dog and fish.  Thanks to Ed for doing the bills and Thanks to Dana for driving us to the airport.  Thank-you to all of our family and friends for being so supportive through out this journey.  We will try to update this when we arrive and let you know how we are adjusting!
