Personal Side
I'm feeling really good about all the trip preparation that has gotten done this week.
I got all my cookie photos edited and have already pulled together
6 of the 14 blog posts I'm writing for the next 7 weeks.
I think I'll get the rest done this weekend. Hurray!
I've bought all the gifts I want to take to various people.
I baked all the cookies I'm taking to the Ukrainians.
I just need to decorate those on Monday.
(Simple simple simple......is the name of the game there. ;))
Today Jill and I went to my favorite grocery stores to get lots of healthy snacks for the trip.
I've already started my piles of the things I'm taking.
I hope to simplify everything so I don't take excess.
It's always so stressful to make sure my bags are not overweight.
This year.....I want to be underweight with NO problem. :)
Tomorrow we have our final meeting about the Ukraine trip.
It's always so exciting to think about how we are going VERY soon. :)
I leave one week from Sunday.....so I've got one more CookieCrazie Chatter before I leave.
I'm super excited to show you all the cookie collections I've made over the last 2 months.
I've been saving them all up in anticipation of me being gone for a month......
so CookieCrazie will not completely disappear.
We have a fun family weekend planned.
Neil & Becca will be here and so hopefully most of us can get together for a BBQ on Sunday.
Ahh......the memories.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend
remembering those who have sacrificed to make our country so amazing. :)
Instagram photos for this week:

I think we all need a little sunshine today.....
Prayers going up for all those suffering losses today.
It won't be long now.....
