3 weeks to go

Now that we are down to the last three weeks, and are up at Bill's parents with all of our luggage, it is time to finalize what we are taking, weigh the bags, and list what is in each bag.
     
   I wonder what I'll forget this time?   Every time I move, we usually lose something.  And, every time we have gone to Tanzania, I have forgotten something crucial. 
  
  For example:
My computer power cord
My purse
Our toiletries

So, I wonder what I'll be missing, or have forgotten when we get there??

40 days and counting...

We won't be seeing any snow for a long time!
  This summer has just flown by, and I can't believe it but we have purchased tickets and we are set to return to Tanzania Sept 9th.  That is 40 days from now!  But, no pressure!!  Haha...
   Ironically, we are mostly packed to go already, because when we moved out of the apartment we just put the things we wanted to take back with us into tubs and have now taken those up to Bill's parents (we will be flying out of Chicago, from their house).  So, we feel really prepared. 
     TOO PREPARED!  Now, what are we supposed to do?  It's a waiting game now.  The ACM meeting is next week, then we will be visiting family and friends as much as possible before we head out.
    Bill was able to find a house for us while he was on his short trip, so we will be going straight into our house (or at least shortly after we arrive).  That will be nice, as I'm hoping to get back into our routine/homeschool schedule as soon as possible.  All of our homeschool books and most of the materials are already waiting for me over there, thanks to the Connect Christian Church team.

    Getting excited!
