It’s finally time..

You know that I’ve been talking about Kyle getting all his paperwork done and how frustrating it’s been. But today he was watching the mail to see if his passport and visa was returned. I laughed because it was about 5:10 when he checked and couldn’t believe that the internet said that it was delivered but where was it? He was just about to call when I said to make sure that he looked in the cellar entry way. Yup, there is was! He was excited and when he checked it out and everything was right. For me it was kind of bittersweet. I’ve been on the crazy mom side when we’ve tried to track his paperwork and when we couldn’t find where the one document that the Secretary of State signed (Hilary Clinton) – yea… I even was scaring William that time. So I guess I’m glad that everything is done. But with all the documents ready to go it just means it’s closer for Kyle to fly out. He’s planning on leaving on Friday and getting to Korea on Saturday. I guess it’s OK… but man oh man is our house going to be quiet when he leaves. I mean you just never know who he’s skyping with when you walk into just about any room in our house or what song he’s singing when he’s cooking in the kitchen. OK, I guess I’m really going to miss him.

And the picture of the day is one that I took when I went out for a walk tonight. There are two things that you watch when it’s spring. The first one is when the ditches ‘open’. What that means is that the culverts open up and the water has some place to go. The second one is when the tile lines are running. This gets rid of the extra water in the fields and it means that you’re getting closer to being in the field to plant. Well tonight we’re at the culvert stage and this is at our four corners west of our farm.
