I have been packing and weighing, packing and weighing and it looks like we may be at full capacity. Today I double checked with American Airlines on my limit and they confirmed that Darlene and I can take 10 check ins at 50 pounds each (we will need to pay for 6 of them).
On Tuesday, my grandmother and I headed out to look for underwear. Three Angels sent me an e-mail stating that this was a much needed item. Gram and I wiped out K-mart, Walmart, and Building #19 of all girls and boys underwear sizes 2, 3, & 4 for a total of 355 pairs. This was so exciting that I e-mailed them right away to let them know that this need had been met.
My grandmother is my shopping partner in crime. It doesn't matter what I tell her I need, she can find it at absolute rock bottom prices. My gram is 88 years old and she shopped with me from 9:00 in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon. We always just have a blast together and the more we are together the more alike I realize that we are. She gets the biggest kick out of knowing she has helped me get all these things for the kids.
I began packing my personal belongings today. This is unusual for me because I am a last minute packer. I usuallly do not sleep the night we leave as we are out at 2:00 AM and so there seems to be plenty of time. This trip, however I am trying to get in a nap on Sunday. I think it will help me all around not to loose an entire night.
Matthew 6:33,34 NKJV
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
Currency Tip: My trip to Haiti is possible because I have a Capital One credit card. My husband and I, pay everything we can on this card and pay it off at the end of each month. It awards us flyer miles which allows us 1-2 free trips to Haiti a year. What is your credit card doing for you? Check to see if you could get more for your money by getting a different card. You may not be looking for flyer miles, this is fine as there are a multitude of cards that do all sorts of things. The question is, how can your credit card provide you with the most currency?
