A quick note

I rode our scooter up to campus to return some library books that I had checked out and stopped to do this blog entry on the way. Jill and I are running around trying to get things ready to go. We had a great morning today, we slept in till 9 then Jill made a great omelet while I cleaned up the house. My flight leaves tomorrow at 7:00 AM so we are trying to get in all the together time now that we can.

Last night Jill and I drove up to my sister Colleen's house to see her family and my other sister Jacque, who had driven down with her family. Kelli, Colleen's daughter, gave me a paper airplane that she had folded and decorated so that I could give it to one of the "sick little kids on your trip, to cheer them up." It was quite sweet and I for sure will take it down. There were amazing hamburgers, the requisite board games, and lots of playing with the nieces and nephews and the dog Liberty. I have a great family, and am sad to miss my other sister Annie and her family, who drove out from Maine to see Mom and Dad in Wyoming this week.

I guess taking this trip has helped me to realize how much there is to do all the time. As in, now that I am going and can't be here, I am all of a sudden thinking of all these things that I would like to do, like go camping in southern Utah, hang out with family more, hang out with my old roommates more, and probably stuff like study for the MCAT and stuff like that should be on the list too. Anyway, it's kind of funny that getting out and doing something big makes me miss all of the little stuff that I don't do often enough while I can.

I am excited for the trip, though. Thanks Mom and Dad for the comment that you posted. I love all you guys and please watch for the next post, which will be coming from the Southern Hemisphere. Ciao.
