T-Minus 3 Days

So, it is official, we are jobless, homeless and living with our parents. SweetJ

The countdown to departure is down to a couple of days!!! All that is left is to pack up our bags. Gone are the days of electric toothbrushes, blow dryers, hair straighteners, make-up, hair spray...you get the point. You can see why I am having difficulty figuring out what I actually need to pack. Do I need a rain jacket and a long sleeve shirt and a sweater, how many shorts and how many underwear...a little stressful. I am sure I will be throwing out half the stuff that I have in my backpack before the end of next week. Oh well, I will learn my lesson really quickly once I am hauling that thing all over the world.

Anyways, we just wanted to say goodbye to those whom we will not be seeing this weekend, our last good-bye on Canadian soil. We love you all and please send us an email whenever you get a chance.

    Ahh does life without a straightener already feel kind of liberating? ;)
    You are amazing for doing this - I cant wait to start living vicariously through you via your blog...despite how much I will also be desperately missing you!!

    Dear Jack & Johanna, Having heard about your great adventure, just wanted to send our greetings to you. We will hold you in our prayers during your travels and follow along your blog. Hope the backpacks don't feel too heavy with all the tag-along people that you'll be carrying! But best of all, your heavenly Father will be carrying you in His love and care!
    Blessings!
