72 days …

…Until we get on a plane and fly back to Utah! The tickets are booked and we are so excited! In about 10 weeks, on 8 June, we leave Australia and get to spend 7 weeks with our family and friends in the U. S. of A.

Here are some things we are looking forward to:

  • Leaving winter behind and enjoying another 2 months of sunshine and summer.
  • Family reunions! Can’t wait to see all our family!
  • Real milkshakes
  • Cheap shopping/eating out
  • Lots of cereal choices
  • Art City days!
  • Celebrating the 4 July in America! Yay for fireworks!
  • The boys playing with cousins
  • Did I mention it’ll be summer?
  • Going through all of our stuff so we can bring more back.

Ok, so I’m sure there are more. We think of different things all the time. We’re just so happy that we’re able to come. Jackson is really excited as well. The day we bought our tickets we told him we were going to Nana and Papa’s. He got really upset when we left the house later and we weren’t going to America. We are a little anxious about the plane ride with a 3 (nearly 4)year old and a 21 month old. Good thing they love movies.

Let the countdown begin…

That is so exciting!! How fun to get to come for such a nice, long visit! You should come to book club or church or something and say hi to everyone. :)

YAY!!!! I FULLY agree with everything you are looking forward to!!! I can't wait either!!! We really need to get together sometime when you are there, because we both know that we can't get together when we live in different states. Maybe we can meet up when we are in the same city!
