Seven days to Korea! :)

And...

Seven Things I Still Have To Do Before I Leave:

7.  Laundry. A fair amount of it, actually (or maybe mountain would be a better word choice).

6. Wash, clean, vacuum, and otherwise generally prepare our car to be shipped across the Pacific. And it may take some scrubbing, given that I think the only washing it's received it in the past two months has been rain...and we are in the middle of a remarkably severe drought...

5. Drive to Illinois to drop off said car at the shipping site.

4. Stencil a painted border onto my parents' kitchen (my dad and I have been promising my mom for many months, maybe even a year or two, that we'd do that for her...but now we're running out of time to finish the project before I leave...)

3. Organize the corner of the basement where my parents are graciously letting Drew and me store a bunch of stuff that couldn't/shouldn't have gone into Army storage in Lawton but which we can't or don't want to take to Korea with us...like Drew's battle-ready replica 16th century claymore and some very-lovely-but-easily-breakable wedding gifts...

2. Mow the lawn at least once more before I leave.

1. Did I mention I still need to pack?


Ok, ok, before anyone panics, I've started packed, but there's still a fair amount left to do (see #7). And there are other things on my to-do-before-leaving list; however, this is a representative sample, I think.

But only 7 days until I see Drew!!!!!

Cheers,
Emily
