Leg 2: Green Bay, WI to Chicago, IL

               ~ 3 hours, 45 minutes, 210 miles

The goodbyes have been especially difficult this leg. We had to part with my family, friends, and our little girls. I only see my family and home friends a couple of times a year so I'm just trying to tell myself that we're only missing a couple of get-togethers. That helps.

The cats, however, have been particularly heartbreaking. Throughout the packing process, Doodle has been jumping into my luggage and laying down. I'm nearly convinced she knows what's happening and wants to come along. It. kills. me.

Leg 1: Madison, WI to Green Bay, WI

First let me take a second to thank everyone who came to our goodbye party last weekend. We are lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives and we will miss every. single. one of you. Wherever we go, you will be on our minds and in our hearts. Thank you friends!

Change Brings Opportunity

Every time I think about the things that I would miss if I leave, I inevitably start thinking about the things I might encounter...and I get super excited.
