I can't believe how close Alaska is!

I can nearlly taste the cold!

We've been talking about this for weeks... nay, MONTHS!
It seems so surreal to know that I will be gone on the 16th of this month!

I'm so excited, I could puke.

I'm so sad, I find myself crying for no particular reason.

We can't bring our kitties. It would cost $550 (minimum).

My Big Bro and my Sister in Law offered to foot the bill as sort of a going-away present. But there's no pet-friendly temporary housing. We'd have nowhere to keep them! Every time I look at them, I cry.

This is a very emotional day. All the planning and calling and cancelling and booking... It never seems to end. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that I'll be reunited with Brian in less than 48 hours and we won't be seperated again for a looong time. (Hopefully!)

And!

We'll be starting on a family here soon. I can't wait!
