4 days!

Work, Rest, Pack, Work and GO!!  Things are coming together.  Luke and I are wrapping things up around the house for Mark and Rachel.  We have started putting things we are taking in one place.  Going to try to pack on Sunday.  That way there will not be as much for me to do Monday night after work.  Luke can pack during the day if need be.  We received a call from Bob Walters, the Director of Youth Ministry, and we will need to connect with him over the weekend for the shirts the Diocese provided for us.  We will post a pic of them as soon as we can.  They will be worn as we pilgrimage into the Papal site on Saturday Aug. 20th.
Updates soon :)

1 Week and Packing

Wow!  It is hard to believe that Luke and I will be at in the air exactly 1 week from today!  We are getting excited to go!! I thought I would be very conservative in the packing?  Right??  The mom in me just can not seem to leave things behind.  Like the extra toothbrush for the teen that will leave theirs at home or the first aid kit (the director, Bob Walters does carry one) that I pray will not be needed.  Oh boy!  Good thing Luke is a light packer because he will have the room and extra weight left for me to put a few things in his bag.

12 Days

Yepper!  Only 12 days to go and each day I Praise God!! that we have so many people that have been supportive of this pilgrimage through fundraising, donations and above all prayers!!  Going to try and post a picture soon.  Keep looking for it :)

Down, Down, Down We Go!

We are still raising funds and the balance is decreasing. YEA!  I know most of the posting has been about the the fundraising.  This will soon change. PROMISE!
