6 days from now Jack and I will be heading to the Outback! I feel like a child on Christmas morning. I can't sleep because I am so excited. I feel like there are a million things left for me to do before we leave. I am slowly but surely checking them off. One thing that I really wanted to get taken care of was obtaining a International Drivers License. I had to show my US license, 2 passport type pictures and complete the application. The cost was only $25.00 and the license is good for 1 year! I am officially an International Driver. Stay off the streets of Australia! Big thanks to Aunt Karen for all the great travel tips, they have helped a lot!
Jack received a b-day package in the mail last night! How cute is this!
What a perfect gift for my little cowboy on our Australian Adventure! Thanks so much Aunt M and Uncle E!
I am working on a list of all the places/things that I want to take Jack to see while we are there! Any suggestions, comments or travel tips would be greatly appreciated!
I'll leave you with the prayer of my patron Saint Francis of Assisi (one of my very favorites)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Let the countdown begin.....8 days until our departure!
8 days from now Jack and I will be heading here.....
Jack really wants to see one of these.....
I really want to see these beautiful faces!!
Can you believe it is only 8 days!! Please send lots of prayers and thoughts our way as we begin this journey. I'm nervous excited and my obsessive compulsiveness is kicking in!
"Be Strong! Be Courageous! Do not be afraid of them! For the Lord your God will be with you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

Western Australia Bound
I am fortunate enough to be taking Jack on a trip to Western Australia to visit family. We will be leaving on April 5 and I still have lots of planning and packing to do between now and then. I've NEVER traveled this far before, especially with a child. A very curious, 3 year old. I plan on documenting all of our adventures and travel mishaps. I'm sure this will be the trip of a lifetime and I don't want to forget anything!
Travel Ideas and suggestions are wanted and needed, please feel free to comment me. Prayers requested for a safe trip!
I also am including the picture from Jack man's passport. He was one happy boy to be getting his passport picture!
