Let the Packing Begin

Feb 29th, 2008 by Nathan | 5

I promised you a packing update on Tuesday. I’m just now getting around to it. I’m behind on my blogging just as I’m behind on packing! This is where we stand today…

Packing

This isn’t everything. There’s also a big container of miscellaneous stuff (like this).

Amber is spear-heading the packing effort. (That’s not a big shock to those of you who know Amber and me well!) She was getting annoyed with me yesterday (and deservedly so) for procrastinating on my duties. But I made up for it by correctly guessing — to within one pound — the weight of our suitcases. What can I say? I should have been one of those guys (”carnies”) at the fair who guesses people’s weight and age…

Anyway, at this point we’re safely below the 50-pound limit for each bag. We’ll see if we can stay under that as Sunday afternoon approaches!

Only two days to go!!!

    My prayers are with you!
    Do you think you could fit me on one of those suitcases! :)
    I just returned from a mission trip to Costa Rica.
    After 10 days of no TV, no phone, and no car, I am still on “Costa Rica time”.

    Good luck with the packing! It was AWESOME seeing you while you were in Charlotte. I wish the best for you both on your new adventure and will be checking in to read your updates. Can’t wait to hang out again when you come back Stateside. Best of luck and God bless!!!!

    Thanks,guys! We’d love to take anyone and everyone to Nicaragua! There are plenty of mission teams coming down this year. Sign-up and join us for a week or two…or more!

    Is that a UNC hat in the picture? You guys know where your priorities are, even when you have that much space.

    Stay strong you two.

    Of course it’s a UNC hat! And you better believe that I’m going to find a way to watch (or listen to) the Carolina vs. dook game this weekend! Hopefully I can find some Tar Heel loving Nicaraguans.

    :-)
