Packed & Ready

Her last night at home. None of us can believe that we're really approaching the day of her departure. The van is packed and we're all heading to bed to get a good night's sleep so we can get an early start to Portland tomorrow.

We spent today finalizing the packing of her Teen Missions stuff. Everything is packed in large zip-lock bags to stay dry and then loaded into the big cardboard box. It weighed in at about 44 pounds, which is over the limit. She may have to chuck a few things at the end of Boot Camp, but I sent it all anyway just in case.

We got a cashier's check for her spending money and tucked it into the little pouch she'll wear around her neck on the plane. Her leaders will collect her money, passport, and other valuables when she gets there and give her access to them as needed.

I think all the details are in place, and now we just get to play for a few days until it's time to put her on the plane.
