1 more day=errands and packing drama!

I can't believe I will be boarding a plane to go to Honduras in a day! I still have so much to do. So much in fact that in the the time it took me to update this blog I could have been doing something to get ready. This morning I spent most of my time cleaning my apartment, packing loads of t-shirts and comfy pants and socks. I honestly have NO idea how everything is going to fit in my one suitcase that can only weigh 50 lbs. I packed 10 t-shirts, 2 dresses, a skirt, and about 5 pairs of pants. I still need to do laundry tonight and somehow how to find room to fit my new red rain boots in. Oh and my snacks...can't forget about those. :) Carmen and I are going later to buy some things that I somehow forgot during my wal-mart trip yesterday, like bug repellent and work gloves. I also need to get a few more games to play with the kiddos (Jason said they loved the first horseshoe game set that we bought--and I'll be able to buy those with another surprise donation that I received this weekend!) and comfortable walking shoes. Aye...it's not going to all fit! Maybe my mom can work some suitcase magic.

Almost time...

Jason left yesterday and arrived safely in Honduras. I've gotten to talk to him online once and twice via email. He keeps sending me suggestions of what to pack. So in a way I'm glad he's down there first. Tropical storm Agatha passed through Central America (and Honduras) last week causing loads of rain. Everyone has probably heard of the sinkhole in Guatemala, but nothing like that in Honduras. Jason said that it's just very muddy and rainy. Hopefully that is all gone by next Wednesday when I leave. The aftermath of the tropical storm has left plenty for our group to do, though. So now begins my 4 day stretch of packing and buying stuff that I need to pack. The list includes rain boots and hiking shoes. I'm trying to find the motivation to actually go shop...which is not normal...I remember when I needed no occasion to shop. Funny how becoming an adult can change your priorities :)

Fundraising update

Next Wednesday I leave for Honduras!! I can't believe it's come up soooo fast! Friday I received a donation from Pleasant Valley Church of Christ! Awesome! Thanks, PVCOC!!

It's HERE!

My passport arrived today! I'm now a legitimate traveling American citizen. It also means I am leaving for Honduras in under a month!! :-)
