Ducky Decisions

So, today, I almost changed my mind about moving to England...

I got to thinking about everything I would be leaving behind me. The list just grew and grew...
My family. My church family. The majority of my closest friends. My niece and nephews. My dog, cat, rat, and parrot. My car Gloria, which I'll have to sell. My job. My mom's hugs... But the thing that nearly put me over the edge, the thing that nearly changed my mind, was... Ice cream. I know! I know! It's ICE CREAM! When you look at a list of all those vitally important things like family, it was ice cream that nearly did it... But it's not just ANY ice cream... It's Mallard's Chocolate-Lavender ice cream! Seriously! No ice cream can compare! I mean, this particular ice cream is all the proof the world will ever need, that there is a God, and He loves us... It's like a edible bit of Heaven... (sigh) How can I leave it behind?...

Fortunately, I smacked myself up-side the head. I remembered the fact that Mallard's will (God willing) still be here when I get back. And that waiting so long for another taste, will make that eventual taste, all the sweeter!

So the trip is still on! Ice cream made by a company, that's named after a duck, didn't win this battle!

On a side note... It occurred to me just now, that as I want to eventually master in Ornithology, is it any wonder that my all time favorite ice cream is made by a company called "Mallard's"?
