getting ready for trip #1

So Mike and I spent the morning getting the last of the things we need for the trip. stuff like zip lock bags not too exciting, but I did get some little ballet slipper type things to put on my feet when we go for our visits. I have been told they make you put covers over your shoes so I thought this way I could be comfy in some cute little slippers. Mike had to get some warm boots because it is cold there and may snow.I am already packed yep a week before we go! I just want to make sure I have everything ready and not in the wash or something. Everything I'm taking fits in my one carryon and one personal item (a nice sized bag holding lots of stuff lol). We had to get a few more papers notarized for our agency so we did that when we picked up the last of our new cash we have to take. Our visas came on Friday, our hotel is booked and we have our airline tickets, we are all set to go.I feel strange, excited but sorta scared. I keep saying to people it is like being pregnant I know it sounds strange but its the same feelings I had in that 8th month waiting for the baby to be born. This is an adventure for sure I'm so glad I have the love of my life my husband by my side for all of it, we have grown in so many ways even this far, and I know we have a lot more to go this is just the beginning.
