28 Days...

Let the countdown begin.  Jason headed out this morning for a month long stint at the University of Virginia.  He will be taking a course on developing better leaders for a better democracy...or something like that.  I always get the exact verbiage mixed up because most of the time I am saying those words in my best hoity- toity voice.  As in "Oh Charles, let's build some better leaders and then later we'll take the yacht out for a spin around the harbor while sipping our whiskies, hahaha." 

No matter what the official title is we'll miss him!  We dropped him off at the bus this morning amidst tears and hugs and drove home with heavy hearts.  However, we quickly began to put together a Valentine's care package for him and that took our minds off it.  Speaking of taking our minds off of it...I am no dummy.  I have packed the month of February with plans plans plans.  Today the girls and I are headed to Seattle to the ballet, my favorite of favorite ladies Mara and Ashley come next week, the week after we hop a plane with Nana en route to San Diego, dinner plans with friends have been made, ladies night outs have been proposed, and then of course there is school, Camp Fire Girls, and horse back riding to fill the void.  So in the end we won't be bored, but come March 4th we sure will be glad to have our Jason back.  Only 28 more days to go!!!
