Ok, so we have officially finished packing (or at least I hope so!). Between Josh and I we have EIGHT bags, 8!!! Two carry-ons a piece and four checked bags. I must brag though, we have packed all our personal stuff for 10 days all in our carry-ons. Thats a personal best for me when it comes to packing. That means our checked bags(50lbs a bag=200 lbs total)are full of stuff for the kids at the orphanage! Thank you to each individual person who has donated items and money. It would not be possible to bless these kids so much without you. I promise to take lots of pictures! Our bags are full of clothes, shoes, socks, toothbrushes/toothpaste, toys, coloring books, OTC medicines, vitamins, first aid stuff, etc. Oh and of course we are bringing some American goodies to our friends Carrie, Jay, and Allen!!! We leave in less than 48 hrs. Our travel out there consist of flying from Birmingham to Atlanta, then Atlanta to Amsterdam. We have a 22hr lay over there so we will get a quick one day tour of Amsterdam (plus sleep in a comfy bed and take a shower)! Then go from Amsterdam to Entebbe, Uganda!! I'm looking forward to this adventure and so happy to be sharing this trip with Josh!!!
