Are You Ever Fully Prepared????

How does one prepare for a 6000 mile trip across the USA and back again? You don't!!!! There are always going to be things we forget, or things left undone at home before you go. That is if you are me!!! Am I the only one that has visions of perfect grandeur to have all of my ducks in a row before leaving for a trip? Yet I never seem to achieve it. So here is my list of important things.
1. Underwear
2. Clothes
3. Toiletries
4. Books, movies, and games
5. Food and snacks
Now for my visions of grandeur
1. Beds have clean sheets
2. Laundry is done
3. Baked cookies and cupcakes for the trip
4. House is spotless
5. Bills are paid
I know most of you would look at a list like this and think "wow!!! she can't get all of that done before a trip". To that I would say "probably not!!". But I love thinking about it before it happens and then enjoying the trip if it doesn't!!! I hope some of you share what you do to prepare for a trip whether large or small. It just might help me see that I am not totally out of touch.

 Now for what I don't know if we are prepared for !! Leaving our daughter all the way on the other side of the country!!! Please pray for us as our daughter spreads her wings and knows she is about to embark and fly on fulfilling her call to missions. It all starts at Moody Bible Institute in Spokane, Washington.

Yes! we have chosen to drive her out there for several reasons. The first being one FUN Family Vacation together. And second, she will need her car out there which will help her with a job and getting around.

Now for that crazy "DONATE" button on our blog page. If you find it in your heart to help with gas money or especially coffee money (to help keep Eric awake since he will be the only one driving) We would greatly appreciate it!!!! Thank you for following our blog and our Facebook page.
