1 Week to Go!!

So we're almost there - only 1 week left to go before the big trip!! This time next week I will be at the airport, waiting to board the plane to London. Needless to say, I am pretty much beyond excited - there really are no words that could ever express just how excited and amped up I am about this trip.

As there is always a flip side to everything though, as excited and jumpy and happy I am this week as the days count down, it just so happens that I woke up this morning with a scratch-y feeling in my throat and just feeling not so great. As the hours went by at work , my voice started getting more and more hoarse and I started feeling super tired and run-down. I feel a bit better now, so am really hoping that I'm not coming down with a sore throat right before we leave! I'm going to overdose on the Vitamin C over the next few days and hopefully that will do the trick.

I have a ton of work to do (for work) over the next few days, but with my last shift being on Thursday, that leaves me all day Friday and the afternoon on Saturday (we have a final trip meeting during the first part of the day on Saturday) to finish packing, clean the house, and pick up some grocery shopping for the person who is staying at our house while we're gone to take care of Franklin. Sunday we have church and I'm thinking the rest of the day Sunday will be a complete write-off, with me just basically sitting at the door waiting for the evening to come so we can leave for the airport.

I can't believe I only have four more days of work and 6 more days until Sunday!! I'll definitely post at least once more before we leave, so stayed tuned for my last "pre-Africa" entry, and for info on how you can keep updated on our trip while we're gone!
