The reality of it all

It is hard to know whether to be excited or not when telling friends and family of how things are falling into place. It is just so faith building and incredible to see God orchestrating everything. My enthusiasm sometimes goes before me and I don't stop to think about the impact on peoples feelings. I keep making people cry :( I am not quite sure how I should deal with this. Everything that falls into place is another step closer to us going and that excites me and also brings a tinge of sadness. As my youngest daughter (9) explains it, she is Exsaddened (both excited and sad). The first people you want to tell are those closest to you and those people are the ones who really don't want to hear it even though they are supporting us. The reality seems to be setting in for everyone. I think that for so long it has been something we were going to be doing in the future and now that future is on our doorstep. In all honesty though, I am ready to jump into that future.
