1.5 days to go

WOW I can't believe it's here!  I wanted to send a quick note today to see if those following me are getting updates.  Myself and family are all new to blogging so we've had some difficulties:-)!  Hopefully this message will update at least mom, dad, tony, jobeth and grandparents (i tried setting it up through my account).
As I expected this week has been very overwhelming!  I always get this way before leaving work for a few days, but it's worse since I'll be gone for 11 with NO phone or work documents.  SORRY JoBeth!  I started having my usual freak out dreams on Sunday so I'm sure I'll be able to sleep on the plane a little.  I of course wake-up in panic mode that my suitcase isn't packed, I forget everything I need and I miss my flight.  So please say a prayer for me that I won't do any of those in the next two days! 
Thank you everyone and for supporting and following me on my journey!  I am so excited to update you on the activities I will be doing while I'm in Africa.  I will not be able to post any pictures of the kids as it's A.C.E. policy to have no pictures on the internet.  I will make a photo book when i get home to share!
I have to run to get more work done and spray all of my clothes and suitcases so I don't bring anything home--wow we are very blessed to live in a clean country!
Love you all!
