If you had to pack 4 months of your life in 2 suitcases what would you bring? Keep in mind that you have to make room for your tent, sleeping bag, wet suit, hiking boots, and nalgene bottles (16 oz.). Also keep in mind that you can buy a lot of things once you get down there like a blow dryer so you're not bringing that. What would you bring?
I'm done with school for the semester except for finals that is. I'm headed out of the country Jan. 10th but first my ENTIRE family is coming to visit after Christmas. I can't wait because that only happens like once a year.
Kameron is doing well. He's serving in a town called Cameron, Missouri. Ironic isn't it? Basically he's excited about being a missionary. I was a good little "girlfriend" and sent him a Christmas package which he thoroughly enjoyed. Cameron is a pretty small town: population is 10,000 4,000 of which live in the prison. Down Town Cameron looks like my backyard with an automart and post office put in it but mostly it looks beautiful. Kam got to go to Far West the other week at night with just he and his companion. Far West is one of the early settlements that a lot of the Mormon pioneers or the parents lived in during the early days of the church. Kameron said he could feel a great spirit about the place considering it's historical significance to our church.
No pictures. I'm too lazy.

If I had to pack 4 months of my life in a suitcase, I'd pick the 4 months when Betsy and I lived in Ukraine and left all our stuff in a storage shed in Utah. Then there wouldn't be as much to pick from. We took more shirts than pants, lots of medicines, peanut butter, personal hygiene items, and most definitely a leatherman. You'll be kicking yourself if you forget your leatherman. I'd also suggest a hammer, and some good reading material e.g. Plutarch's Lives or Ivanhoe, something you can read more than once. I'm also partial to photographs, so I'd take a camera and plenty of ways to ensure good battery supply. I always try to be sure I have some good old fashioned American candy because most places don't make it quite right and some music because I've got something of a natural liking for the stuff. Be sure you travel with less than $10,000 or you'll have to go through a different line when you enter the country and there are more forms and things to fill out if you do that. And, if you're going to do any of your own cooking, a couple simple recipes can be a life-saver. A couple things I wouldn't recommend include an iron, a hair dryer, one of those foolish power converters, and certainly don't bother with cedar shoe stretchers, even if the man at Mr. Mac tells you all the missionaries use them.
I was hoping you could pack me in your suitcase. I could only stay for a week or so, but I think that would be the best thing.
This doesn't go along with your blog, but it is not my fault-you don't have a new blog up. Maybe you are TOO LAZY! :)I just wanted to say, I think your cool.
I can't believe how grown-up you are! It makes me feel so old. LOL
:( You are absolutely gorgeous!!!
I'm so excited for you and can't wait to hear all about of your adventures in New Zealand. Will you have internet access there? Will you be posting pictures and blogs while you are gone?
I would pack my cell phone, digital camera, and Ipod. I can't seem to live without those. Other than that Russell (is that Betsy's husband?) seems to have some great suggestions.
Good luck and I hope you have a safe trip there! :)
