This is the last week for packing, shopping and just plain getting everything done before we leave on Friday!! There are so many people that want to spend time with us “one last time” and so many things that we were hoping to do before we left that just aren’t going to happen. We took everything over to the church today to start our packing. We figure it will take about 3 days to get everything organized and packed, but by the end of the day we were about 75% done with everything. I am sure there are a few more things that we have yet to think of that we need to get before we leave so there will be more to pack I am sure. Sydney, Abby and Jenny helped us get all the clothes in ziplock bags and vacuum bags today. All the clothes (well except what we are wearing this week), are in bags, vacuumed and in the duffle bags. All the batteries are now wrapped and ready to be packed. The girls were a HUGE help to us today. I really am going to miss them and am enjoying these last few days of hanging out.

I made a run to Lantz’s today to grab lunch for us all. It was nice to get one last salad in before we leave. Tonight we are going out to dinner at Pizza Hut with Mary and Pete for a special treat for them before we head out. I can’t wait I am going to have pizza too even though I will have to take like 10 food enzymes it will be worth it.

Tomorrow it is back to the church for more packing. We have decided to take 2 more trunks with us, there is just so much and it won’t be easy to have others bring things to us later.
