Months ago we set a deadline of September 19th to have everything done for our trip. The logic behind that was so that we could have several days (or hopefully a week) to take it easy and enjoy our family and friends before we leave. I am so glad that we stuck to this deadline! Aside from a few last minute things, we are ready to go.
Myles left last weekend. I have been so busy that this past week flew by. I had to go to Topeka last Tuesday to get the lien free title for our van. It was no big deal, just a hassle because I did not have time to wait for them to mail it to me and then get it to the new owners.
The van is now in Raymore with it's new family. The house is done and we are getting ready to enjoy the week.
Last night we went to the Fall Festival at Prince of Peace. The kids really enjoyed that time playing games and hanging out with their friends. They are going to school this week and their last day is Friday. Ben has his last football game on Tuesday evening. Aquinas homecoming is Friday so we will all go to that. Natalie has her last soccer game next Saturday evening on the brand new Overland Park soccer fields. We have people to take custody of school uniforms and sports uniforms till we get back.
I am going get Myles' car all cleaned up tomorrow and park it in the garage while we are gone. My neighbor is going to take it out for a spin every couple of weeks. I am going to rent a van for the week and then return it at the airport on Sunday. I have received receipts for one of our boxes that we shipped. I am waiting on receipts in the next few days for the other four boxes. Hopefully those arrive (the receipts) before we leave. All of our luggage is ready to go. We have 10 items to check (we each get to check two). And we will each have two carry on pieces. Sounds fun, huh? Once we get the checked stuff taken care of it will be fine.
This week will be relaxing and fun...then in one week our family will be together in Gdansk!
