Mike and I managed to acquire 2 cats (Keys and Ashley) during our time in Seattle and we will be shipping them away from all they've ever known to the other side of the country tomorrow morning. In order for the airline to allow us to ship them we had to get a carrier with enough room "for the animal to sit up and not touch the top of the kennel". They said that for a cat that would be around 15" high. We measured the cat carriers that we already had and they were a mere foot in height. So we went to the pet store and ended up with two new GIANT carriers for the cats. Seriously, these things could fit Mike or I if we could fold ourselves in half. The size seems a little ridiculous if you ask me, but it's apparently what the airline requires and at least we'll know our kitties will have plenty of room to sleep, sit, and dance around in luxury during their 8 hour trip tomorrow. Mike's parents will be picking them up on the other end and taking care of them at their home (thank you thank you thank you!) and we'll try not to miss them too much as we take the next two and a half weeks to make our way back to them in Pennsylvania.
Here's to the beginning of the adventures!!!! (...even though it's just the cats for now)

Just think of this as good practice for parenting.
You let them go and then when you see them again it's a miracle.
I can't believe you guys are actually leaving! You will be missed. At least we get to see you in a month. Have a great time driving across the country and seeing all the sights 'merica has to offer. I'm glad we are coming to the wedding, it makes the goodbye a tiny bit easier (though not much).
Thanks for all the game nights and grinder Wednesdays. Good times, good times. Even when the power went out.
Love you guys,
Jaclyn and Andrew
