So the days are getting short and we will be leaving for Australia in 2 days! I can hardly believe it! We have had such a great time in Ohio with our families—-we spent the week at Lakeside last week and then this week in Lima with Chris’ family which has been great. Of course now I am stressing out about how much stuff I have to take on the planes—–our suitcases will be bulging and I think I am just going to have to weed some stuff out and leave some here. It is just so hard to know what to take and what we will need and you know how you get your favorite stuff to wear and don’t want to leave it??? Well that is my problem….. and it is a big problem that is for sure. Tomorrow Chris and I are going to go through files, make copies and repack our suitcases one last time and get ready for the trip on Friday—-Colleen and Bryan are graciously taking us to the airport and hopefully we will all fit in with our stuff!

So I am trying to get excited but I am just a little bit overwhelmed at this point but it will be okay! I just have to get packed up and then I will be okay—-take it one minute at a time!!

keep checking back–more coming!!!
