7 DAYS!!!!!!!!!

7 DAYS! YAY!! 7 DAYS!!! Can I say it again! We leave in 7 DAYS!!!! I know that is still a week, but the excitement is bubbling up in me that I just can't stand it. We will be staying Florida for a week and then we head home to ZAMBIA!! Oh the joy in my heart!!!! Can you tell my excitement??

Well I am one person who really HATES to wait till last minute to pack. It stresses me out and then I don't do well while traveling. Keith on the other hand packs about 2 minutes before the flight. Drives me crazy, So to avoid stressing myself out at the last minute I start packing early. I got my suitcase out yesterday and started washing clothes and picking clothes that I want to take. Now that is the HARD PART. I never really knew why when our family would come back to the USA that one of our first stops we made was to WALMART. Well let me inform you as to why. After living in the bush, Alaska or Zambia, your clothes become a little grungy looking. You don't really notice that out here until you decide to take a trip to town or to another location. And when you start to really look at your clothes you realize they are not as fresh looking as when you bought them. White socks become beige, red shirts more pinkish, black just looks a little more faded. My once blue jeans are faded, but since faded jeans are the style now I will fit right in! hahah SO right now I am looking through my clothes and trying to find the nicest ones to take to town. The other thing that is hard to do is planning clothes for summer weather when you live in a state that still has 4 feet of snow on the ground! I don't even know if I have a pair of shorts. hehehehehe Kaden was excited that he gets to wear his shorts and sandals. I am excited that it won't take 15 minutes just to get coats, boots and snow gear to go outside. Kaden and I have a count down to leave and we are super excited. 7 DAYS!!! Got to get back to packing! Can't wait! 17 DAYS till I get HOME!!!
