Preparations...Pull my hair out!

Does anyone out there know who decided that one suitcase per person was a good luggage limit? I'd sure like to meet him (because let's be honest, it had to have been a guy!)

Due to this packing nightmare, I have now lost a good deal of sleep as well as several hairs which I am particularly attached to. All of you West Coasters who did this all the time over the last four years--I tip my hat (which, I don't have yet) to you.

All things considered,though, this has been a good week at home. I haven't had to cook once--hallelujah!--and I am accomplishing things which is sort of a miracle. For instance, after today I will be officially Red Cross First Aid and CPR certified--so if you ever get bit by a spider, call me.

I leave tomorrow morning for the great unknown and while I'm out of my mind excited, I also feel more than a little bit nervous. Here's to the great unknown! I love an adventure!

Heidi- great minds think alike- I decided to start a blog for my year in Georgia too! Though I'm doing it because I'll never remember to e-mail everyone individually. I hope your packing nightmare was worth the effort... is that possible? I can't wait to hear what you're up to!
