No Countdown?

Without fail-over the past 3 years I have counted down the days until we will be in Iowa again...when we get back out to Oregon the next countdown starts. With 7 days left...no such countdown has been created since the wedding. We are very excited about our trip home this trip feels different than previous trips...can't quite put my finger on it.

Nick and I put or heated mattress pad on our bed last night, crawled in at 7 and watched shows ALL night. It was sooo nice and warm even Ditka was hunkered in with us.
