Down to one day!

So its now the final day before i leave!! Yes the nerves have set in. As of yesterday i have been worried about forgetting stuff and all that fun!
I think im finished packing but theres always last minute things to throw in as you walk out the door!! This afternoon my parents have to meet with a lawyer to get a signerture to say we cane travel without an adult on the return trip. We didn't find this out until yesterday so that was pretty crazy!!
Tonight my parents are taking Laina and I out for dinner so that will be nice! Then tomorrow we'll be up bright and early.......well we may be up all night! But either way we'll be up early. Say a few more good byes and off we'll go! We're meetin with the group for prayer time before we head to the airport. Our plane takes off at 10 A.M and we'll arrive in Richmond {the town our house is in} around 7:30 P.M, South Africa time if i remember correctly. We will be 7ish hours ahead!
I am still very excited!!!!! :D

My room is a tornado zone!!

Between packing for my self, packing a bag for the kids, all the boxes of stuff i have for the kids, and still living in it, my room is the messiest i have ever seen it!
Packing i've found is really hard and i actually don't really like it all that much. Ya when u first start it is fun....but there is no way to finish until the day you leave! So if you start early....your stuck with half packed bags and piles of everything lieing around your room. Its a constint job, even thought your hardly doing anything and it never seems to end because .....it never does!!!

Today is also shopping day! Heading out to finish filling those bags, we still have stuff coming from a few different people but time is running out for us to have time to go. So today is the day!
Its going to be fun!!
~
Only 9 days to go.....i am soo ready to go { even tho im not done packing} but like i say alot im not ready to leave here either! lol leaving will be hard but once i'm gone :D i'm not looking back...well for at least a couple hours :D
