Leaving on a Jet Plane....
Well time before the big trip is dwindling away. I have pulled out all the luggage... and made the lists of things to do before we leave. I delivered Chili dog safely to moms house where she will be hanging out with the big DOGS until we get back. I hired the neighbor kids to take care of the yard and the cats.... really my biggest worry about the whole trip is whether I will be coming home to a brown yard or a green one. I dyed my hair today, so that the Arizona people won't know I'm getting a few grays on the top of my scalp... oops I guess you know now. Also if you'd please ignore my horrible farmer tan arms, and white legs that would be Super! All that's left is the packing and packing and packing... but I won't do that until Thursday because we don't have that many pairs of shorts. Well the kids don't anyway, I probably do. So with all of this done, I still feel like I'm loosing my mind. It just seems like a long time to be away from home, without a car... without means to get back if we just decide to come home early. Not that I'm afraid we'll do that, but I hate not having the possibility. I guess I'll get over it pretty quick once I'm there in Sunny AZ. Oh to all you family members that may or may not want to see me, I will be staying at Grandma Cs on the night of the 16th, so come one come all, or don't, but it would be nice to see you, and I realize that's the middle of the week, but it's what works since we have no car. So we are on our way...with sunscreen in hand.... and smiles on our faces.

Oh, I just remembered a flying tip that I saw on Regis while I was waiting for Nathan at a Dr. appt. Kelly said she can pack an entire family of five for a weekend into ONE carry-on with spacebags. Not that you have time go to town and find some. :)
I'll miss you :(

Hmm...wonder if I can get out that way to visit you for a couple of hours. Shoot, I wish it was a Tuesday or a Thursday, then I'd be kid-free. I'm excited for ya!
Alas we will not be able to get to Grandma C's house on Wednesday the 16th. It is Will's b-day (Ender's too...) Oh, and Will's dad will be visiting with us that week.
Good luck on that packing. Biggest thing to remember is to pull out all the clothes you plan to take and then cut your pile in half. When I took G'ma to Europe, our tour guide had everything she needed for 9 days in one carry on bag. G'ma and I each had huge pieces of luggage and we only wore about half of what we took. Besides - you can always do a little laundry. Have fun on your big trip.
We can't wait to see you!!!! Have fun packing.
