Less than a week!

It is less than one week until we will be traveling to AZ! Howard and I have not been there since May of last year for my brother's high school graduation and our baby shower! This will be Owen's first trip. It will also be his first birthday party! I am so excited. Owen will meet his Great Granny and Auntie Rose for the first time. I will meet my 6 month old nephew, Johnathan, and my sister will see Owen for the first time since he had his surgery. This is a big trip. I will also meet my best friend's daughter for the first time and she will meet Owen. My other best friend Shannon will also meet Owen for the first time. We have family coming in from PA and Howard has friends coming in from CA that he has not seen in at least 5 years! This is a bit overwhelming all of a sudden, only because I am a crier!!!! I will be a mess this entire trip but at least they will all be happy tears:) I will be there for 2 weeks but I know the time will fly so I am going to have to remember to savor every single day!

The last time we were in AZ we had a great trip, maybe our best up until that point but there was also the anticipation of Owen's birth and what that would bring into our lives. This trip is all about celebration and I cannot wait! It has been such a hard year and it is time to celebrate how far Owen has come and how far our family has come.

I have been planning Owen's party and I cannot decide what the theme should be. I wanted Monsters because he is such a monster lately:) There isn't anything really cute except Sesame Street monsters. Owen does love Elmo, well at least the intro song, but then I revert back to making the theme more simple. I will figure it out and it will be great!
Howard has created a slideshow for Owen's big day and I cannot wait for everyone to see it. I cry every time I watch it so it should be fun:) Howard did such a great job on it, it is perfect!!
