It's finally time to go!

---

Well, all our bags are packed and we're ready to go. We moved out of our apartment. We sold our cars. All of our stuff is sitting in boxes in my parents' basement...things are looking pretty permanent.

We've been staying with my parents here in Richmond the last couple of days. It's been nice to hang out with the sister and parents, as well as visit with my extended family.

We're leaving the house bright and early tomorrow morning at 5:00 a.m. :O Tonight, Lori insisted that we go get some Dairy Queen before we left. (I'm not sure if this was for our benefit or for hers) It was a good idea either way. 😊

We'll be spending the next couple days in D.C. before heading out to St. Lucia on Friday. We're pretty psyched...its hard to believe that its really time to go!

We're Packed
Well, we're not exactly light packers, but you need a lotta stuff for 2 1/2 years!

Matt's Family
Here's Mom, Dad, Lori, Lauren, and me. It's been really nice to be able to hang out with the family before we go.

Last Trip to Dairy Queen
Lori strongly suggested we make one last trip to Dairy Queen before we leave...she's always looking for an excuse to go to Dairy Queen, and this was a good one :)

Goodbye Car
Lauren's last (and first) modelling pose with the ol' Contour. Better print this one off now before Lauren finds out I put it on here.
