One month and counting...

It's getting to be that time. I officially have 1 month until I leave for staging. I can not believe how fast this time is flying by. I joined a yahoo group with other members of my "Bots 6" group. It's been nice getting to know the people that I will be spending the next couple months with, before we actually meet at staging. And I am still waiting for my staging materials to come in the mail. I am getting anxious each day that passes without it. But of course, as soon as I get it, I will be anxious about something else (go figure). Outside of PC stuff, I have my last 2 weeks of work coming up and then 2 weeks of time to spend with family and friends. I also have my two going away parties to look forward to. The first one is in Jacksonville with all of my college friends on the 30th. Then on April 6th my Orlando friends are throwing me "Beer Olympics", yeah its a toga party with Olympic events. Only Heather Rae would think up something like that, lol love you Heather.

I have my last couple of weeks here at the church too. This week, the kids from FUEL (SSCC youth group) are on spring break. Tuesday night, Justin and I met the kids at the church for a few hours to get ready for our up & coming Art Show/ Silent Auction this Saturday night at 6pm at the church. The kids have all either done their own art, like painting, pottery, drawing, etc. or they had stuff donated by their art teachers and friends. I was really surprised at how artistic FUEL is. Then last night was youth group, we finished our series on Napoleon Dynamite and the kids gave us feedback. The general consensus is that they really like working out of a book they can relate to. *Note to self & Justin... work on more of these* After we finished up with the lessons, the kids finished working on their art projects. Justin and I also gave the kids an update on tomorrow's Beach trip. I think the only problem we are seeing so far is that we might not have enough cars to go, but I think we can talk someone else into driving; hey, it's the beach.

Back to PC stuff, sometime tonight I need to look up all of the specific measurements for my luggage that I am allowed. I am hoping to go pick up my hiking pack and sleeping bag tomorrow or Saturday if I can. I also need to find a Leatherman and a money holder. I started a packing list, but that will be on a different post later this week. I'll probably change the list several times before I actually decide to post it, and then I have to fit everything into my bags, so the list will probably change several times after I pack and unpack and pack again. Well, I should get back to that packing list...
