I must say the last day before our trip, I was a little bit of a mess. Not only was I frantic about the departure (we packed up until the very last minute), but I am also such a sap for goodbyes. It's so interesting that even a two month trip out of town, or moving out of your house, can really make you stop and see just how good you have it! While I was in our new rental on John's Island, I finally had time to reflect on the most epic holiday season full of fun parties with friends, lots of dancing to Justin Beiber "Sorry" and lots and lots of wine! I said goodbye to friends over lunch and had a play date with Graham's best bud James. I am so thankful for the life we have built and the friends we have made since we moved to Charleston and I think just the mere act of going away made me really see this more clearly. I wrote a long, tearful note to our sweet Nanny Happy, who is starting a new job, and told her to read it after we left, I just could not bear saying goodbye to her. We took Goosey to a farm on John's Island where I am sure he is having a blast! Lucky boy! The kids really didn't know what was going on, we hyped up the airplane and Argentina and I think they were more excited for the grand adventure than anything. It was a lot of emotional goodbyes and then Happy whisked us off to the airport (thank you for everything, Happy!!!) Here are a few pics of the morning we dropped Goosey off at his farm. (Charleston peeps: I interviewed everywhere and I found a really great long term boarding option for dogs, happy to share!)
