Picture Day

We are waking up super early this morning to meet a friend to have family pictures taken. I'm super excited, but the girls are gonna hate me for waking them up so early. The reality of Sy leaving is becoming more pronounced as we do these little things before he leaves. First family pictures, then Sy's birthday party, then next week dinner at my mom's house to say goodbye. I have to keep telling everyone that it's not goodbye, he is only going on a business trip. That logic only works on me so far, so I hope my positive attitude sinks in to everyone around me. I'm trying very hard to stay positive and happy and be confident in our decision, but as it gets closer, that becomes harder and harder.
