My interview with LJ, age 8

Where are you going this summer?
I’m going on a world trip. I’m going around the world.

How do you feel about that?
I’m excited and I’m not excited. I’m excited because I want to know where I’m going to celebrate my next birthday and I’m not excited because I’ll miss my friends.

Enjoy and appreciate the process

I’m starting to freak out a bit.

We’re counting in weeks now and the to-do list is LOOOONG.

Less than 10 weeks until go time and it’s coming up fast!

The weekends are quickly filling up with regular life – birthday parties, soccer practice, trips to Canadian Tire – and there’s so much to be done before we fasten our seatbelts aboard that one-way flight. One day soon, we’ll wake up and it will be time for takeoff.
