Leavin', on a jet plane...

We're here!
Ok, so we've been here.  This actually marks day three in Oxford for us. It has taken me a bit to post because we've been trying to get some things done first (like unpack, buy groceries, set up a bank account, and learn our way around.) I'm going to post about these days separately because it's 10 p.m. here and I'm listening to Brandon snore and hoping to do the same soon! So, let's start with the day prior to departure...that way the title makes more sense.

The Eidsons were kind to host my mom and sister on Sunday afternoon/evening so we could all spend time together before leaving. We enjoyed a great dinner together (which included a surprise visit from Jordan Britt, who just happened to be passing through Birmingham!) and got a lot of time to hang out Sunday night and Monday morning. 

Here's a shot of our families at the Eidsons' house in Birmingham right before we headed to Atlanta for our flight; the Hudgins (above) and Eidsons (below).

We said a teary goodbye to my family in Birmingham; a quick "hello" and "goodbye" to my aunt and uncle, Carol and Jerry Moore, once we got to the airport; and then had one last set of hugs with Brandon's parents before getting in line for security. Once on the other side of security, we waved goodbye to the Eidsons and made our way to terminal E. At 11 p.m. we boarded the plane, bound for London!
