Peace, love, and understanding.

Finally heading home tomorrow and feeling pulled in fifty directions. Between family and a long list of friends, there isn't a lot of time to spread around. To make matters worse, a lot of our loved ones are leaving as soon as we arrive. So, instead of quality visits, each day is filled with group visits and much running around. Moving has already been difficult enough. Now, it's a juggling act, as well. So, my Christmas wish is to return to Seattle fulfilled, knowing we've spent quality time with everyone {minus the stress of it all}.

An earnest "thank you" to Jill for being so flexible and understanding with us during this new process... truly going above and beyond to spend time with us while making sure we get to and from Chicago safely.
