Turning my thoughts south

It's been pretty quiet on this blog but there are a couple of things to celebrate about my upcoming trip to Brazil.

1. God raised all the necessary funds for me to go AND MORE!
2. I've been able to make all team meetings due to my wonderful husband's hands on care of our children
3. My trip has initiated good dialogue!
4. A GlobalX team just returned from serving at Capela de Gracia and helped revitalize marriages in the church.

In a rare moment to myself--Quinn's napping and Jake and Daddy just left for a birthday party, my mind starts catalogging the list of what I need to do before I leave for Brazil:
-call dr. for prescription for Cipro and Ambien
-pack
-update my will
-call my credit card company and alert them of my trip
-make copies of my itinerary and send it to family and friends (once I get it!)
-get a haircut
-stock my Kindle library!  :  )
-invest in a door wedge
-register my trip with the Department of State
-tell Jake & Quinn about my trip
-organize meals to ease Jess' burden as a 'single' parent

Less than three weeks until my departure! If you think of something I've left off this list, please let me know!
