Eleanor and I are going home on Tuesday. I could write 1,000 words explaining why we aren't "sticking it out" for the next month, but all that's really important is that it is the best decision for our family. We've learned from experience, and from the examples of important people in our lives, that there are times to work hard and fight for things, and there are times when you just need to do what is best for your mental and physical well-being, even if that means folding your hand and not playing anymore.I am excited, and I am sad. Ryan will be staying here to work, and I am terrified of the month ahead without him. But I know that with the help of our family and friends (and Skype!), we will make it through the time apart.
Wish me luck on Tuesday. The flight home is going to be a challenge, but I am thankful there are so many people (and puppies!) who love us waiting on the other side of the ocean.

I've been in Aiken and just caught up with your blog. We'll be waiting with open arms to help anyway we can. You've been a good mommy...I'm proud of you and love you you all.
