Packing in Everything

I have had a good couple weeks.  Mom and dad came and hung out and helped me pack.  That helped a lot as I try to sort and pack all the items in my house.  This morning I spend another few hours working on this and am getting very close to having the bulk of this project done.  I am hoping to move things to storage on Saturday, since I won't need most of the items until I return to Kazakhstan long-term next spring.

These next few weeks are going to fly by.  I only have 16 days until I leave for Kaz.  Before I leave there are many people to see, good times to be had, and work to get done.  My evenings and weekends are quickly getting booked.  It is kind of funny, because having a busy schedule is something I have always had, but actually putting dates into my calendar for some reason stresses me out.  However, with as many things as I am planning, I have had to start putting things into my calendar.  As a result, life looks a lot busier than it actually is.

So much is coming together and I am getting more excited to head back to Kazakhstan each day.  I am looking forward to seeing my Kazakh family and all my friends over there and the kids I spent so much time with.  I will be traveling over to Kazakhstan with one of our interns and will begin preparations for our first delegation once I arrive.

I look forward to the funny stories that I will be able to share as I transition back into life in Kazakhstan.  :)  Thanks for your encouragement and support as I prepare for this journey.
