The Day Before

So everything was going great this morning--its a long story. It started with everyone getting up and taking a shower, eating breakfast, doing last minute laundry.  The usual. Then we were checking to make sure that everyone had the right documents they needed. There were 2 out of the 3 passports we were supposed to have..

So we ran back to Cedar Falls. It pushed our drive to Chicago back about 2 hours, but its all good.

The rest of the night consisted of dinner & drinks! Oh, and that American Ninja show :)
TOMORROW IS THE DAY!

Prepping For A Semester Abroad

Let me be the first to say that packing sucks.  A lot. Thank goodness it is all over with. 27 & 42 pounds later and we are all set!

The majority of the day has been in the car or running to the nearest Wal-Mart for last minute things. Being gone for so long requires more thought than a usual trip, but I think everyone has some sort of emergency covered--at least I hope.

And proudly, there have not been too many tears shed!

We head out to Chicago tomorrow so we have chill before our 9 hour flight... Windy City here we come!
