After hours of packing, I finally got everything in!!

Time To Go!

Wow. It's finally here. I am leaving New Mexico in a couple of hours to start my incredible journey. I will spend about a week on the coast and then I am headed to Africa. I can't believe it's finally here! Packing proved to be more of a challenge than I had originally thought, but I finally fit everything into two 50 lb. bags and two carry-ons--that takes talent! I had to leave a couple of things behind that I wanted to take, but I didn't really need. Time to simplify my life. I am very excited to get started on my trip and I praise God, for he is good!!

Here goes!

I have started packing for my trip! I am so excited to be this close to leaving. It seems like the wait has been forever, but I am sure it will be worth it! There are so many things that I have to pack for a trip like this and it has been a lengthy process getting everything ready. Every time I start to get things together I remember something else that I need. I will be glad when I am done! Of course, I would like to remember everything that I need. Once I get to Africa there are many things that will be hard to come by or I won't be able to find them at all. I can't imagine life without Wal Mart, but I guess I will get used to it! :) As usual, God has been with me every step of the way and I am so thankful, for without him it would be impossible!
