boo

I have failed to mention this OTHER member of our family named Boo. She is our 3-year old shih tzu, and is the sweetest pet on the face of the earth. Obedient. Quiet. Adoring and adorable. Loving and cuddly. She is just the BEST dog ever. 2 days ago Eli and I drove to TN with her, to leave her with members of our family until we return from China.

We sincerely miss her, but know that she is becoming even more spoiled than she already is. You see, when we are able to visit family in TN, most everyone is thrilled at the prospect of getting to see Boo. Granted, they're happy to see us people, too, but Boo is the center of attention.

Now I must get back to the piles that are slowly making their way into suitcases. We are getting so much closer to moving from the packing stage, to being actually packed. I have walked around all day with what I can only describe as a heightened expectancy.... I am certain that my heart has been beating much faster than it normally does. In 34 hours we'll be driving to the airport...

But this post was about Boo...
