testing out the pictures


OK, I'm really just testing to see how the picture posting works. This is much easier than I expected :) Look at our empty house! Thank goodness we held on to Amira's favorite toy just a little bit longer. Sorry Amira, the horse doesn't fit in the suitcase!

We are leaving soon :)

OK OK, I said I wouldn't start a blog. But I don't know how else I'll keep in touch. So I'm going to give this a try. I'm not making promises of anything grand, but I'll try to keep you up to date with pictures and posts. I'm not promising any literary masterpieces, but at least you'll know what we're doing. My time will be precious considering I'm taking 2 classes towards my masters, working full time, and most importantly mothering a toddler.

We're leaving on the morning of the 27th and we will arrive in Tangier the afternoon of the 28th. Yes, yes, its true we will be stuck in JFK for 12 hours. Very sad fact, but I really screwed up our tickets. We are at the point of nervous excitement. Our house is nearly empty and now we're just working on cleaning and packing up the last few things. Today we're going to take all of our boxes to storage. We really aren't storing much. Just one car, a bed, a futon, a tv, and some boxes. We sold almost everything at the garage sale and on craigslist. Thank god for craigslist.
