'Twas The Night Before The 12 Hour Plane Ride...

And, while I wish no one was stirring, everyone except my lovely nephew McKennon is up and interrupting my packing. I love them all anyway. I have packed and repacked and unpacked and repacked all day trying to fit my things into 2 suitcases and a carry on. Tis near impossible, let me tell you! After all of that hard work, I am exhausted!
The reality of this upcoming expedition is finally starting to set in. It's strange really, thinking about being on my own for nearly 4 months, when I couldn't even pack for the trip by myself : ) Thanks, Jess (she knows who she is)! I think the hardest part will be the initial good-bye. My brother, my mother, and my nephews came to spend time with me before I leave tomorrow, here at my sister's, her husband's and my nephew, Luke's, house. It's been pure chaos all day, but that is my amazing family! I took the boys to the park and got to answer all of their funny questions about my trip. All of them pertained to the actual plane that was taking me to Spain, not what I was going to do once I got there
: ) I wish I could sneak them into my suitcases. Or maybe into a kennel. Zac does have a monkey suit he could wear! Sadly though, I don't think that would fly (get it? fly? haha). I guess skyping will have to do until I'm home again.
I'll be getting up bright and early at 6:30 tomorrow morning, to get ready and loaded up to head to Dallas to catch my flight. I'm definitely dreading the drive and even more so I'm dreading the flight. It's roughly 17 hours away, but I'm already ready to be in my bed in Spain. So sleepy!
Well guys, wish me luck! I'm sure I'll need it! The next time I'll be able to post I will be in Spain so, for now, adiós!
