and we're off

Merry Christmas everyone!

After a full week of Christmas parties, plays and shopping, we are finally ready for the big trip.

Our bags are packed .
(Is it so wrong that I had to have a completely separate bag for shoes?)
(Yes, girls, I did in fact pack my heels... and not just wedding heels!)

The house is clean.
(Yet another little mom-ism ingrained in my psyche!)

The dress fits.
(I was a little worried. I ate a LOT this week!)

My new i-pod is loaded with awesome newly created playlists.
(Not that I'll get to enjoy it. I'm sure John Mark will see to that.)

And now... bed,
with visions of a beautiful mountain wedding dancing in my head
and nightmares of a 2 hour plane ride with a busy 17 month old.
