and away I go.....

Okay, so tomorrow morning (Thursday) I am off to Lubbock, Texas! I am a little nervous though because I am leaving Nate and the kids at home.  Nate has never had the kids by himself for more than a few hours, let alone four days!!!  My oldest brother Chad is graduating from Texas Tech with his doctorate, so we officially have another Dr. Graff in the family!  I am flying down with my sisters and my parents.  Not only will I be out of town but Nate's parents are also out of town, so Nate actually has to go totally solo!  I know that he can do it and that it will be good for him.  I think it's me and that I don't know what I will do without my kids for that long.  I love them and haven't been away from them for longer than an overnight trip to grandma's and grandpa's or when just one of them goes on a trip.  Hopefully I will be able to survive:) I am definitely excited to see Texas and see my brother graduate!! I am so proud of him and all of his accomplishments.  So if you are in the neighborhood check on Nate and make sure that he is still alive (and not tied up:))  I love you guys and will miss you every moment that I am without you.  Take care of dad!!!
