So we leave in 5 and 1/2 hours. We should probably be sleeping but we are going to be up for a while. Not out of necessity - just not tired. I wanted to share about all the stuff we are taking with us!! Thank you to all of you who sent donations or money to buy donations. Also, thank you to those of you who gave to AGCI specifically to cover extra baggage costs for people like us! We are taking 8 bags (1 is purposefully overweight and 7 which are hopefully right at 50 lbs). Our stuff takes up 1 bag and presents for my sister take up 1 bag the rest are DONATIONS! These are just
some of the piles of donations.
For all you numbers people I thought you might like this:
