Excited, nervous, stressed, excited

10 days to go until we go on our big trip!!! It is going to be a blast but there are the usual jitters that go along with it all. The packing is the worst part of any trip but especially on a long one with KIDS!!! I feel like I have to take everything but add all the stuff that you have to take for the kids and it's crazy!! I finally have a confirmation number for our New York hotel so that is a big stresser off my shoulders. The guy that does the reservations decided to go on vacation before I got it so I was stressing the whole time wondering if we had a room for New York. Thankfully, we do and it's a suite in Times Square!!! So we should be in walking distance to quite a bit of stuff. I'm so excited!! We get to stay here but at a greatly reduced price;) I'm not nervous about the plane but Trav hasn't been on a plane in many years and my poor mom doesn't like flying. But both flights are straight through non stops so that should help (not as many take offs;) I still have so much to do yet I'm sitting here on the computer avoiding it. I think I will get into panic mode pretty soon though. I just need to figure out what I need to get at the store before Friday so I don't have to make a return trip before we leave (even though we probably will anyway). I get to have a manicure/pedicure right before we leave (gift certificate from Mother's Day) so my nails will be nice and pretty. I figured I would wait until my vacation so I don't have to cut my nails too soon;) I have also been rereading The Work and the Glory to remind me of all that happened in Palmyra and Kirtland. It's amazing what the newest members of the church had to go through. So many trials and heartache. It will be so cool to see these amazing sites in person. I'm hoping to be able to blog a little bit as we go or I'm going to have a ton to do when I get back! Anyway, so much to do, so little time!! I guess I better get on it!!
It's going to be pretty slow at work tonight. Maybe I can sit in the sauna for a bit and try to relieve some of this tension;)
