Hard To Say Goodbye...

Today was the day I've been dreading for the past few weeks.
No, not my birthday! (THE BIG 2-8)
Although the two did happen to fall on the same day!
My sweetie has to start his new job in Kansas City on Jan. 2.
After days of weather watching, we decided he needed to start making the 17 hour drive
today instead of tomorrow in order to give himself enough time to get there.

We spent the morning celebrating my birthday.
I picked out some chic new sunglasses,
then we had a romantic lunch at the food court in the mall.
Oh how I love Chick-Fil-A!!


One final check of the weather confirmed the urgency to get him on the road.
We loaded up his car and said some very tearful goodbyes.
Reese looks so torn up doesn't she?
(She's crying on the
inside)

At this moment baby,
you are stranded in a blizzard at a motel in Wyoming...
We love you tons and are praying for your safe arrival in our new home.
We can't wait to see you again in a few short (long) weeks!!
Until then, be safe. Good luck on your new job.
We'll be here getting ready to move the entire family across the country,
in the middle of winter, no less.
