You know how when you are really excited for something to happen that you can’t wait for it to get here? Well what if the thing you are really excited about is also going to make you really sad? Then it becomes a case of wanting the day to arrive, but not wanting the day to arrive. That’s where I’m at. I’m so excited for this whole exchange experience for all of us. Doodles is going to have the experience of a lifetime and we are going to take a complete stranger from a strange land into our home and make him/her part of our family. How exciting is that?! But, I’m going to miss her so much while she’s gone. No doubt there will be many tears shed on the day she boards the plane for Spain. Honestly, there have already been lots of tears shed and we are 8 months away from it. But not letting her go would be totally selfish on my part.
