One week and counting....

Well, the time is fast approaching for our departure to the 'wild west'.....this time next week we will be on the road! Hubby and I have been packing lots lately.....filling boxes with our belongings, knowing that it will only be a few days before we start pulling it back out again. The kids are getting excited as the days go by, too. There is talk of friends, finding lizards, go-carts and snack shop!! To be honest, i get a little excited about those things as well! :)
