AZ Here We Come

Tomorrow we leave for Arizona. This trip means a lot to our family for many reasons. We get to see Jeremy's brother Bryce who will be returning home from his mission on Tuesday, we get to see lots of family that we have not seen in too long (including my grandpa who is very ill), we get to get away as a family, and we get to have a nice dose of sunshine.

We have had our tickets booked for several weeks and have been anxiously waiting the trip ever since. We find ourselves talking about it frequently and the excitement has rubbed off on Merrick. A few days ago I guess he was tired of all this talk of Arizona with no action and decided to take matters into his own hands.

Slowly but surely he started making a pile of all the things he wanted to take to Arizona. He made sure to include the really important things like the remote control for his ceiling fan. Soon he had a huge mound of things for Arizona and it took me a while to convince him that we were not quite ready to go and could put his things away until it was time to go.

The ironic part is that now it is almost time to go and we are not yet packed.
