I dropped Nick off at the coach station. He’s headed to London (where he’ll hop on the Tube and board his flight at Heathrow, arriving back in Wisconsin tomorrow night). Earlier in the evening I cried a lot, but somehow found myself able to keep it together during our final hug and goodbye. Perhaps because I know that 3 months will pass quickly, particularly in the scheme of things. Life continues.
Classes begin in three days and I’m glad, it’ll be nice to have something else to direct my attention towards. I know that my studies will keep my mind occupied and I can’t whine much because I’m blessed that we have the ability to see each other and travel together to beautiful new places as often as we do.
Plus, I know Milwaukee misses him.
I had a blast seeing this new part of the world with him and next time I won’t have so many things for him to haul around. Then he can’t call himself my pack mule! =)
I’m praying he has a safe journey home.

As you can see…your brother went insane on my xanga last night!
Ohhhh Nick! This year will go fast. Love will always stand the test of time. You have your whole life a head of you! Enjoy every minute of it ;)

I know exactly how you feel too! I still don’t like goodbyes. Fr. and I never lived in the same country unitl we were married. He was a student in London when I was undergoing chemo and he flew to back and forth to see me 6 times in one year. Those goodbyes were wrenching! The three months will fly by and in the meantime you two will enjoy each other through sweet notes and pictures, I am sure. You are blessed to have experienced so much together! Enjoy this very special time in your life, savor every minute, record as much as you can and enjoy reading and writing love letters. : )

I know how you feel. Seriously. We spent our entire engagement – that’s a half a year apart from each other and over three thousand miles apart. Jennifer and I went through some harsh withdrawls. You remember. It’s gonna be reeaallllyyy hard. We’re here for you, though. Cheerio! How’s my England English? Better than my American English? or West Coast English or…sorry.

*secret agent voice* Listen here Brady…we’ve…
*normal voice* ahhh…I’ll go normal for this one…Esther, we’re all gonna miss you here! It’ll be weird not seeing you attached to Nick’s hip or kicking his sandal off and playing keep away with it. We can’t let you keep Nick in England though :) I have stuff from Marcia’s wedding to give him. :P And pictures to look at! He’ll drool over that. Anyways, all the best in your new land! Sounds to me like you have an awesome opportunity there!
