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! :)

Hey overpacker - I'm sure whatever doesn't fit in those suitcases is available to buy in Poland. You won't be living in a hut in the middle of nowhere. I promise there will be stores, so pack light!
:)
Haha! I was about to type the same thing as the previous poster! "Don't forget there are stores in Poland!"
I will say one thing though...the one thing I wished I'd packed when I went to Costa Rica was my own pillowcase. All of the ones at my host family's houses were scratchy and irritated my face :)
I'm so excited for you guys! It's going to be such an amazing year for you!
Yes, I know they have stores. In my defense though, why buy something when you already have it and when you don't have the money to buy it again! HAHA :)
