Today's the day!

I can't believe it is the day we are leaving. We are all packed, after repacking again last night. Those of you who have vacationed with us know how I love a repack. We ended up taking 4 more bags of clothes to goodwill. That was our 8th trip this summer! I love a good clean out. We have five big suitcases, a bag with shoes and throw blankets, including Ryan's new Tshirt blanket, three small carry on size suitcases and Ryan's guitar.  Ill have a bag on the plane and Ryan has a backpack. Overall, not too bad. I also booked our flights home today, coming back 12/21 at 4:40 pm. We go back to Beirut 1/3. Crazy booking those trips already, but I know it will go fast.

Thanks for all the support, we really appreciate it. We had a party Friday night thrown by our friend Justin, and then Saturday we spent with my family and friends. It truly made us realize how lucky we are to have everyone. Ill try to post pics of our place as soon as possible. We will be 8 hours ahead Chicago time so we land tomorrow in Beirut at 7 pm.
