Getting Ready.....

We are happily getting ready to leave for our two month trip through Europe! We are so close but still have a million little things that need to get done!

The rest of this week will be spent running errands, buying last minute supplies, readying documents and reservations, and just trying to organize our lives! Oh yea, and lets throw a graduation in there too. : )

We want to use this blog to try to keep in touch with our families and friends and will attempt to keep it up to date. I will try to post our planned itinerary before we leave, so even if we do get behind everyone will have a general idea of where we are.

Check back every so often over the next two months if you start to miss us!!!
