Safe in Salzburg, Austria!

Lauren is now in Salzburg, Austria!

I thought this day would never come. All the planning and discussing and now she is there and now there is nothing for us here at home to do but sit back and wait to hear from her. This first day is the hardest in that I do not know what type of communicating we will find the easiest. Because we have never done this I find myself ill at ease jumping from my land phone to my cell phone to the computer and then to calling Reed to see if he has heard anything. I know he is trying to work, but I can't help checking because he and Lauren have blackberry phones and they are the only ones who can do blackberry messaging. Crazy. I am the mom and find myself in second place to get all the good stuff from my daughter. It is so hard I will probably have to go trade in my phone and get a blackberry too. I even keep looking at her blog and am anxiously waiting for her first entry. This is going to be so tough till we get a system that works for all of us. She is 9 hours ahead and is now sleeping I'm sure. (I hope). I miss her like crazy mostly because I know I have lost control over our communicating. The balls in her court. Oh my. I am so excited for her and only know she is safe, happy and exhausted. I can't wait to hear all the fun things she does and all the stories she will have. What a lucky girl....that Lauren of mine.
