Three weeks to go

Well Jeff has decided to leave in 3 weeks.  I have mixed feelings.  I don't want him to go for many reasons: scared for him to be there alone, scared to be here alone, don't want him to miss Julia's first step and will just miss him.  But if he needs to go and we need to stay.  I feel more comfortable waiting until things calm down in Japan.  I know we will be south but there are still aftershocks.  I would rather not go at all but have resolved to the fact that I am going and will just hope each day that nothing happens when we are there.  Lists are made and the movers are coming next week.
