8 days left

Our bags are packed. Well, mostly packed except the stuff that's in there we'll still be using for the next week. We've planned on taking just enough for a weeks worth so seven of everything. Personally i felt that wasn't really enough so i took a little extra and some how my bag still weighs the least. My backpack is sixteen pounds, everyone else's was around 20 pounds. It still hasn't hit me yet that we leave in eight days, this summer has gone by so fast. Thank you to everyone that came last night to say "I'll see you later" (sounds so much better then goodbye) it meant a lot to all of us. Tim and I start online school tomorrow and we plan on getting as much done as possible before we leave so that we wont have to do it while sitting on the beach somewhere. School and beach should never be even in the same sentence together. It seems like we still have so much to before we leave. Someone came today to look at staying in the house, thats made my parents happy. We're all excited and very much looking forward to taking off next monday night.
