It has been so busy here lately. We will have the last piece of our dossier in country this week, and should be submitted next week. The travel wait after that has been running approx 10 weeks. So we could be travelling in 11 weeks (probably the 3rd-4th week of July)!! I meet this thought with a mix of "AHHHHHHHHHH!" excitement and nerves. It's getting more and more real. We have some packing to do, things to buy for the trip, we still have not painted his room, and we need to figure out our travel timeline a little bit, along with care for the kids and critters at home. It also means I/we be most likely missing the first days of the kids being back at school, so that will need to be worked out as well.
I also realized this morning that we will be real close to the end of our trip at our 16th Anniversary and my 35th birthday. This could be interesting to see how it plays out. I hope they have cherry pie, otherwise my birthday celebration might have to wait till we get home!
We still have about $1000 to raise. It's hard to put a hard dollar amount since things are always changing, but that should be pretty close. There are around 170 puzzle pieces still to get names on, plus we have the gorgeous Compelled Designs jewelry available for purchase as well. And since we still have a bunch of stuff left from the garage sale, we will be reopening it Friday/Sat this weekend as long as the weather holds.
