IT IS OFFICIAL! After a week of packing, re-packing, and sorting through what I could and could not fit... I am packed! Yes, folks, it is a miracle! For those of you who doubted that I could fit everything into my bags for 27 months - here is the proof! I successfully cut my shoe supply down to 7 pairs... yes, I know that sounds like a lot, but it is NOT! I think I was pretty practical with my packing, but I did sneak in a few shirts that I probably will never wear, but they make me happy :) It's the little things, right?Thanks to everyone for these last few weeks of lunches, dinners, get-togethers, and parties. I think that I have successfully inflated myself for the next few months, but it has been worth it! I will miss all of you dearly, but I am super excited to start on this adventure. Tomorrow morning I will head out very early to fly to DC for staging; Wednesday we will depart for Panamá! Please keep in touch with me while I am gone... I expect LOTS of emails and letters and pictures, pictures, pictures! Now, if you are reading this blog and crying - STOP! I will see you soon! Time flies... I'll be back before you know it! Just come see me when I can have visitors!
Kristin,
ReplyDeleteI am so very excited for you! (Although I miss you already!)
Good luck with everything - especially the first few weeks! Email soon and I'll keep you updated on things!
We all love you so much!
I'm guessing that you are in DC by now. I hope that you are already having the time of your life! I love you!
ReplyDeleteI must say that your packing ability is VERY VERY impressive! Glad you had made it safely and it sounds like you're having a blast so far! Best wishes and I look forward to more pics & hearing about your 'host family!' Much love!!!
