Sick!

Eeeeek! I'm sick! Stuffy/runny nose, sore throat...at least there is no fever yet...let's hope it stays that way! I have 4 days to get better!!!!!!!!!!

Just a week away!

Well, it is officially only one week until we take off on our grand adventure! We are very excited and trying to get all of our last minute things together!

In other news, my brother, David, who battled Osteosarcoma two years ago, has just been diagnosed with a lung tumor. He is going through further testing to determine what the plan of attack is going to be, and will have surgery to remove the tumor in the next 2-3 weeks. It is going to be extremely difficult for me to be so far away while this is happening, but my family insists I go and have a great time to keep my mind off it. Please keep my brother and the rest of my family in your prayers.

T minus 13 days!

I can't believe that two weeks from now, Natashia and I will be enjoying the City of Lights!!! Time has simply flown by since we started planning this trip 7 months ago! I can't believe its already time! Even with my suitcases and clothes strewn about my bedroom floor and my euros ordered and all the itineraries on color coded notecards (of course), it all feels very surreal...like we're still just talking about the possibility of going. Even so, I just have two or three more things to purchase and pack and I'll be all set!!! WOOOHOOOOOOO!
