The suitcase has been packed for a week and now just a few odds and ends to get completed before we board the plane bound for Paris! I officially got excited yesterday when I picked up my Euros from the bank. Until this point I have been worried about getting re-connected with Slice since being side lined with a broken foot. We have had a couple of trials, the CKC Scout Out West and last weekend a three day seminar with Terry and we are ready to go. We have been working on international courses and studying course maps to make sure there won't be any surprises. Both Slice and Pint have been handling all the challenges brilliantly and I know we are prepared and ready to kick ass.
Our uniforms are hot, the dog gear is amazing(especially now that I have added the bling to it) and the team is amazing. For the most part we all know each other but there are a few new faces and it will be so great to meet everyone in Belgium.
As much fun as it is to embark on this journey it makes me sad to leave my old boy Porter and the my new baby Arson behind. Two weeks is a long time in both their lives. If it wasn't for my husband, Troy, and good friend Amanda, holding down the home front and making sure my boys are looked after, I couldn't leave. Also wouldn't be making this journey if Rhonda wasn't looking after my business. Thanks everyone for your support and help.
Your next post will be coming to you from an airport somewhere.
