Slack... No, Busy... No, Slack

So it's been a while since I've updated this space; sorry about that! We've had a little bit going on. Let's see. Had a wonderful send-off party last night at Emily's house (thank you Emily!). A few tears from many people and a lot of heartfelt goodbyes. Today, I've been having fun playing with my new toy -- a gift from Lori, Emily and Karen -- an iPod Touch! Thank you so much ladies; I will keep in touch and think of you each time I use it. Tonight, we're having some more friends over and will enjoy more laughter and then have to say more heartfelt goodbyes. Phew! We're exhausted. Lloyd spent last night with a high fever; he's so run down. We're eager to get on the plane and begin our journey into our new lives in New Zealand. It's inconceivable to me still that I can't make plans with anyone here for next week; so weird. Day by day. Now stop reading this and go download Skype if you haven't already!!
