Why is it that getting ready to go on vacation is so stressful that you almost don't want to go? Note that I said "almost." I'm sure it will all be fine by the time we pull out of the driveway. It's just the getting there, from here part that stands in the way.
We are going to Boston and Connecticut to witness the graduation from seminary of a very dear friend. She and I have been friends a long time and our winding paths have many, many mirrored moments. I'm so joyful for her and I can't wait to be there. After graduation we are meeting up with other friends who live in the vicinity. (Note to self: Why do so many fun, interesting, intelligent people live in New England while so few live in Ohio???)
Standing between us and the highway is:
:: one last deep cleaning of the house - we found out just yesterday that our house/dog sitter is allergic to cats. . .
:: taking said cat to another friend's house, who stepped in at the last moment and saved our sanity. . .there is NO WAY Izzy was going with us. . .
:: getting the cleaning account substitute ready to take over for me for a few days
:: those agonizing, last minute packing decisions
:: saying goodbye to those sweet, lovable mutts (That's the worst part for me!)
We will be back at the beginning of next week. Say a little prayer for our dog sitter. Oliver is a handful! Pray he doesn't get a squirrel. . .

So, so, so glad you both were here!! "Mirrored moments" - that's a perfect phrase for what we share.
