Booked!

I have booked the following:

1. Flights to and from Paris at the end of April. Kimberly will be here and Scott has the week off, so the four of us are going to go spend four days in Paris. That was one of the places I wanted to visit before I left Milan.

2. A 12 day cruise around the British Isles at the end of July. I am so excited about this cruise. It's one I've wanted to do for a long time. We will get to go on shore excursions in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Plus we will be able to go see the beaches at Normandy.

When I was booking the cruise, I was asked if we were celebrating any special occasions. The cruise is our 30th wedding anniversary present to each other, but our anniversary isn't until August, so I said no. About an hour later I realized that we would actually be on the cruise for my birthday! I went online and changed my information, so I can celebrate my birthday on the cruise. While looking, I saw that special occasions could be celebrated if they occurred up to 30 days before or 45 days after the cruise. So we can celebrate our anniversary too! I'm not sure what they do on the Crown Princess, but I'm hoping it's fun!

It's Really Happening!

This morning I bought plane tickets to Salt Lake City. Two months from tomorrow we will be leaving to take Jeffrey to the Provo MTC so he can begin his two year mission.

Buying the tickets makes it seem so real. My second son is getting ready to leave on his mission. My second son is getting ready to leave on his mission!!!

How does that make me feel? Excited for him, a little sad for me, a little nervous about how he'll do, and a little anxious about how safe he'll be on his mission (that's what happens when the Mission President writes on his blog that the missionaries in some areas can't leave their apartments at night). Mainly I'm proud of him for making this choice to serve the Lord.

He got his mission call 4-1/2 months ago. Suddenly there is only 2 months left. I guess it's time to get shopping!!
