It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Where has the month gone? I'm still looking for October! Eric and I leave in only 51 days!!! I have been packing and packing and packing. Most people that know me, know that I HATE to pack. I can never figure out if I should take the brown flip flops or the green flip flops or hey they're small why not just take all of them! :) With having that much trouble with shoes, I'm sure that you can imagine how long it takes me to pack what outfits I want. Ugh... it really is a week process for me and that's only if I'm going to be gone overnight! :) Just kidding.. well... kind of.

With that dilemma, I'm sure you can imagine how hard it is for me to pack 2 suitcases that are supposed to last me for an entire YEAR... and on top of that, I have to stuff things in there that remind me of my home. YIKES! It's been interesting to see the pile of stuff that we want to pack grow from a laundry basket to half of a closet! Now don't get me wrong, I'm excited! This is an adventure to me and there is something exciting about knowing that you only have 2 suitcases with their zippers about to explode for an entire year! :) The part that isn't exciting to me is that horrible feeling you get in your gut when you're sitting in the airplane about to take off and you just know you forgot something! I can already feel that now, and I haven't even packed yet! Oh well... the most important thing that needs to arrive in Poznan, Poland is myself and my husband.Well, just wanted to share that with you all. Eric and I are getting ready to eat so I better get off here. Have a wonderful Monday and if I don't post before Thanksgiving, have a wonderful time eating and being with family! :)

Lots to do

Homecoming was a blast. We crammed 19 people and 2 dogs in one house. It was craziness, but so fun! It's always hard leaving everyone, but especially hard this time knowing that we won't see most of our friends for at least a year. (check out my pictures from homecoming on my facebook).

We are starting to pack stuff up. Eric and I have been trying to box and label our things at least one night every week. We are trying to make it fun and not get overwhelmed. It's really weird packing up. I feel like we're moving to another apartment in Reynoldsburg not another country.

God is good. We have a little over half of our money raised. Everyone has been so amazing and faithful! This weekend we are going to Bel Air, Maryland to speak in Eric's home church. We're excited but nervous. We will be speaking 6 times in one day! WOW!!! Please pray for us.

Well, I'm off to play cars with little Austin. I've been doing some baby-sitting and it's been a blast! Everyone have a great Wednesday.
