Today is moving day for the Atlanta Lawlor's. Our son Kyle and his wonderful wife and daughter, Abby, are leaving for England tonight for 2-3 years. Husband and I are here in Atlanta "helping" (I hope) and we will drive them and their 6 suitcases to the airport this evening. I am sooooooo EXCITED for them. Abby is a little unsure of the whole leaving her friends thing but all in all she is very excited about this wonderful new adventure. They have been shipping boxes all week and hopefully everything will be ready for them when they arrive tomorrow morning at Heathrow. Their FLAT is only about 15 minutes from the airport so that won't be a big hassle. They are leaving their cars in the USA and will buy/rent something over there. From what I hear no one drives in England, they all walk. Which is perfect for this family. Kyle and Bridget and Abby are athletes. They play soccer, Gaelic football, and hurling. (Which is different from curling. Hurling is like football, lacrosse and soccer all rolled into one, without the protective gear.) So I think moving to a country that walks will be great for them. Husband and I will die when we go to visit but I am sure we will adapt.
Will we miss them?. . . Sure . . . but we have our hats on and our passports at the ready for when ever they want a visit.
Wish them well for us and please say a prayer that they travel safe and remember to drive on the left side of the road!
