The time has come\u2026 \ud83d\udc9c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TJ has said her \u201csee you laters\u201d\u2014not goodbyes\u2014to her rugby girls, her family and friends, and her boyfriend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because \u201csee you later\u201d means something different\u2026 it\u2019s a promise. A promise that this isn\u2019t the end\u2014just a chapter and she will be back soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t easy\u2026.Hugs were held a little longer, a little tighter and tears fell a little harder.
But with love surrounding her and her best friend getting her to the airport- what was left was wheels up. \u2708\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First stop\u2014Skyline (had to\u2026 IYKYK \ud83c\udf5d)
Then settling into the hotel for the next few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning\u2026a free day for us before getting admitted Monday morning.
Rain pouring, cleats in the mud and rugby in Ohio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found a piece of home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little reminder of where we come from\u2014
And a piece of home waiting for us when we get back.
