Being down to the last few hours of work has so many thoughts running wild through my head.
Everything from unexplainable excitement to wondering if I made the right choice. Naturally some thoughts are stronger than others. Thankfully the shitty music in my ears, poor excuse for a computer that I have been forced to use 40 hours a week for the past 2 years and the lack of anyone here to help me today makes those thoughts quickly diminish. lol.
Tonight Steve and I will be locking the doors to our house and finishing off everything that needs to be done.
Laundry
Cleaning
Outdoor finishing touches
Packing
And maybe even some relaxing in our big bed.
These past few weeks have been spent hanging out with our friends and family. Trying to jam in as much quality time as we can. With only 1 family left to say 'see ya' to I'd have to say that we are right on track. Not that we really had much of a schedule but we are right on it.
I'm not really feeling much stress, things are just falling into place.
Gives me the feelings that this trip is just meant to happen.
So 3 days from now we will board a plane for the most extravagant adventure of my life.
I couldn't be more ready. =)

So last night we bought the last of the things we will need for trip. Thus we decided to take our packs for a test drive with all the things we will be toting around with us. I can hardly believe how little we are taking but it still seems like so much.
We packed up everything and were surprised to see that there was still space in the packs! We stepped on the scale to see how much it all came to, mine is less than 20lbs. Sweet, I've seen boot camp shows where they get you to wear heavier packs than that and then climb a mountain. I think we have the perfect fit!
I've been telling Steve about the blog and he is also interested in writing in it while we are away. Which is awesome, its going to be really nice to have a log of how we are both doing.
A few updates, we have decided not to take a cell phone with us. We will have our laptop so email or face book messages will be checked often but really if we need to phone you we can just buy a calling card and make the call. It will end up costing less in the long run. 1 Less thing to carry.
We have been going through a real struggle with Steve's guts these past few weeks. He's been for testing that showed nothing but trust me, at 3am when your seeing him in so much pain you know there is something wrong. I wish I was a Dr. so that I could help more but really other than asking other people and trying a few herb/tinctures there is not much we can do but hope for the best. lol.
Not really the best thing to happen before the trip, though I have my fingers crossed that its lifestyle related and if we are living a different lifestyle there Steve will be cured for the 2 months we are gone for.
Well, we are down to 17 days and counting. I know there will be tears on my face when we board that plane. And they will be there on countless occasions along the trip too!

The Perfect Crime......
With a sleeve of 6 jalapeno pepper plants, a shovel and 2 of the best crime partner's around we set out to make Cranston a spicier place.
The perfect crime starts out with an innocent walk in the early evening. No one could suspect a thing as we walk to the park to plant these plants.
Choosing prime locations. Ones that I know will get watered and also get lots of sun.
I can't wait to go for a walk and see how hey are coming along. I would just love to see people's faces when they are walking along and see a hot pepper growing by a tree in a park.
The most epic sunset ends the adventure and we head home.
What a way to end a fabulous weekend.
