All packed up

Laila says:

Good about my day:  Our fabulous friends-Karen, Kathy, Sheri, Dan, and Gogi-cleaned our house today.  Wow!

Bad about my day:  Exhausted from working so hard to get us packed up and the house cleaned.

Surprise about my day:  Feeling jealous of our neighbors who will get to know our lovely renters-Florence and Bob Fogelin-while we only getting to meet them once.  We sure scored on the renters.  Yeah craigslist.


It is nearly midnight.  Maya is going to bed on the couch since her bed is covered in Rinda's clothes.  Kalin can't quite believe that absolutely all of her things are out of the bathroom.  I can't quite believe I haven't forgotten something major.    This is the last night I can recite the chant that has been running through my head all week:  "We're going on a big trip. We're going on a big trip".  Because tomorrow-We will be on our big trip!  Wow.  Five years in the making, and now it is here.
