Preparing

 It was a good weekend.  And a good day.  

In all the preparation for the upcoming SCT, we've spent the last few days saying 'goodbye' to normalcy. 

We've had our favorite beer from our favorite brewery, we've seen some family and friends and we have cleaned nooks and crannys of this house that probably haven't been cleaned since either 1) we moved in or 2) COVID. 

We've organized the many generous gifts we've received of blankets, snacks, games, puzzles, and lottery tickets (a few winners set aside!).  We've hung up cards and read through the text messages over and over again.  

We've read and re-read the prescriptions to start taking and the ones to stop.  

We've got the Clorox wipes lined up.  

We've got the ice chips in the freezer.  

We've been to mass.  We've said our prayers.

Yes.  I think we are as ready as we can be.  While we wish we were going tomorrow, I think I'm grateful we were pushed back a day.  We've had such an amazing day as a family and are really relaxing tonight.  I'm not sure how relaxed we'll be tomorrow, so this is nice.  We ate dinner as a family while watching a movie and we feel peaceful.  

Thank you.  For all the continued thoughts and prayers and messages and well wishes.  We're ready, because of you!
