Leg 1 complete

I was the one who drove Kirby to the airport back in July. It was an early flight and we felt our 'see you laters' were better suited for at home rather than the airport. Gosh that was a hard night....

At the airport our 'see you later' was fairly quick and painless. We hugged, kissed and said good luck!  I quickly turned around and headed through the airport back to the parking lot crying. As I was crying I remember thinking..."Man, now I can say I've done one of those sappy airport movie scenes where the girl walks away crying."   

Fast forward 5 minutes...as I was driving through St Paul, I started thinking and planning out the next few months.   I decided that there were 3 'legs' to this adventure.  Leg 1 was now until the start of school. Leg 2 is school to Christmas and Leg 3 is New Years to the end of the school year/Kirby's return to MN.    Then after I got that all figured out I stopped at Target in Forest Lake and bought the pinkest-girliest bedding I could find.  Seize the day right?  No camo loving-hunting-fishing-long haired-bearded-get your hands dirty 40 year old man wants to sleep in pink bedding right? 

Stating tomorrow-Leg 1 is complete! Wahoo!!!!!  Back to school the kids go. Back to work I go.  Back to busy days and short nights. Back to the dogs being in charge of the house. Back to a new normal.
