the first picture is just for my friend, iteach7....

ah, the long weekend. I need it. I am excited, nervous, stressed, everything about next weekend. what is next weekend, you ask? the 3-day walk. not only will I be walking 60 miles over three days but I will be leaving my family. I am such a homebody and hate to leave my family. that will be four nights away from my dh and my kids. on the other hand, I will be sharing an experience of a lifetime with my Mom and cousin. and I am the forever worrier... I know and believe my dh is 100% capable of taking care of the kids, that I have no doubt of. but since I am the one ususally doing the majority of the caretaking, it just seems so strange to be "off duty", if you will.

yes, you will have time for just you! you will have lots of time to ponder things as you walk (unless you can talk for 20 miles!). how exciting! and how brave you are to leave your fam for 4 days! i know k is totally capable of caring for them, but i know you'll miss them! they'll be so happy to see you, just think how great it will be for them to run into your arms after 4 days away...

Thanks for the picture!!! I truly love that place---Wrigley and the city! Next weekend when you walk into the city, it will completely change your view of Chicago. I wish I could be there when you finish, but know I am there with you in spirit. I am so proud of what you are doing...your family will miss you, but I'm sure they will be just fine without you...maybe some crazy outfits or hairdo's but they will be fine. Happy walking! Be safe. luv ya!
