Tomorrow's the BIG DAY

Mike: one thing I have noticed about me is that it is easy to say something, but when it comes to actually going through it is another story. I'm not ready to leave and I don't think I will ever be ready, but I know that I have to. I know you wanted to talk about me leaving but I want to be strong for you and I know if we actually talk about it then I know I'll break down. (I love you so much, and it bothers me that I have to leave you both behind).

I know our love is strong and we will have no problems these next nine months. We will work things out and we will still be there for each other for support, whether it be through this blog, email, phone calls, or letters. I know we can do this, we both just need to be strong especially for our mija. Don't let her forget about daddy, I will send both of you pictures of me in Italy. Please, do the same for me.... I need to see both my girls, because I know I will miss both of you. Okay babe, I will update and write/blog as soon as I get a chance or as soon as I get there.


Olive: I somewhat regret that we didn't really get the chance to spend quality time today. I know today is a busy day because of a lot of last minute stuff. But I think the highlight of the day was at the Children's museum, because daddy and mija got the chance to spend fun time together and take some pictures (I hope those pictures come out good). But if there's a time that I wish we could add more hours to the day, it's today. A little more energy and quality time together would've been extra nice, but I guess we have the rest of our time together to make up for it, eh? I'll just take a raincheck ;)
