Countdown & Packing

The countdown is underway.  We're SLOWLY getting everything gathered up.  Shopped yesterday in an attempt to stock up on 3-4 weeks of groceries so Tasha and the kiddos don't starve.  Tash will have to replish the basics, but they should be good to go.  Sam's Club is starting to become my new best friend. 

We got Jack's stuff and orphanage donations packed up yesterday.  Finished laundry today so John and I can figure out what we want to take.  Then, today, I spent the day paying bills for the month of March - getting ahead is such a challenge!  I think my brain might be approaching overload.  :)

Visited Barnes and Noble today to get dad a couple of magazines for the trip.  Checked out a guide book on Hong Kong.  Reconfirmed my desire to go to The Peak.  Hope the weather cooperates. 

Guess I should log out and go see to some dinner.  Then I need to continue to pack! 

Travel Approval

We received our travel approval today.  I was on the phone w/ Victoria's orthodontist office when the email popped up.  I squealed from my desk as soon as I hung up the phone.  I was unable to contain my excitement while at work!  Jenny gave us the choice of 3 departure dates, and John and I opted for the first available - March 1st.  We should know in the next few days if she's able to secure a consulate appt time that fits with the March 1st travel time.

I'm excited yet nervous because there's SOOOOO much to do before we leave.  Got to get my mind around all of the things that need to be done!
