Packing

Wow. Packing was probably a 6 hour ordeal today. I'm exhausted from it. I jammed everything possible into those bags...I honestly can't believe it all fit. I spent so much time taking everything out of its bulky packaging and sucking all the air out as humanly possible.

I leave for Dallas in about 9 hours. AHHH!

Here are some pictures to show the packing adventure for the day:

Morale of blog: Melissa is going to FALL OVER trying to haul this through the Dallas and Mpls Int'l airports.

I'm not sure how often I'll be able to update this while on the trip. So keep me and the team in your thoughts and prayers. Team members: Geoffrey, Daina, Danielle, Sarah, Jenny, Elizabeth, Geof, Keith, Jessica, Missy, and myself.

Until next time...
