We are slightly nervous. I'd like to say it's just misti who is nervous and that I'm a bastion of confidence - charging into the great unknown of spiritual conflict like Patton charging into Sicily, but but if I'm totally honest, I think I relate more accurately to Lord Cardigan as his Light Brigade charged the Russians. Needless to say, (though I will) I'm a little bit nervous too.
After 12 hours of driving it was good to stop in with the in-laws. We were able to give an overview of everything that we were doing and why we were going. In some ways, it's good to be reminded myself. Sometimes it's easy to forget the why's and wherefores, in the midst of all the planning and preparation. It's funny really, you can expend so much energy going after a goal, or a dream that you sometimes forget the original vision for going in the first place. It's only when someone asks that you are left with this stupid grin and 10 seconds of awkward silence, as you ask yourself, "Why is it that I'm going again..." Then you remember, and when you do it's as if there was no other possibility. Almost indignantly, you respond to your own lack of assurance saying, "Of course, I'm going to do this thing" as if someone asked you if you planned on breathing this afternoon? Or if Krispy Kreme doughnuts are best fresh or microwaved (which if you don't know the answer to that last question you may not be saved.)
