Final Packing

April 21, 2008

Your bag weighs more than my deer last year.......!Is it less than 45 pounds?Do we have everything?We finally finished packing our luggage for the trip tonight.  We each can have one checked bag that must weigh less than 45 pounds, one carry on, and a personal bag.  I have a backpack that will serve as my “purse” and drake will carry the laptop in his backpack.  We purchased a “wild game scale” to determine if our luggage will be under the limit.  Drake can use it next year during hunting season to weigh all his kills….

We also drank a bottle of wine to take the nervous “edge” off………Can you tell?

We had our Mexia/Drake’s Family shower on Sunday April 13 and the Fowler Elementary shower after school on thursday April 17.  Since Julie was opening gifts we don’t have many pics to share from Mexia.  We are so thankful for all the gifts for Karlie.  She is a lucky and much loved little girl!

I am so darn cute!We have 3 more days before we leave for China. We don’t sleep very well at this point. We have so much to do we can’t figure out what to do first. We will start packing tomorrow. A trip to Walmart to buy “travel” supplies Friday night turned into a 2 hour quest. I think we spent more than any trip in Walmart history, and can only pack one suitcase each that weighs less than 47 pounds……More to come tomorrow……
