18 DAYS!

We only have 18 days left until we hit the road!! We are SO excited. I am seriously itching to start getting things ready, but I'm not letting myself yet because then I'll have nothing to do in 2 weeks.
Today Brent isn't at work, because he was called to Jury Duty. He's been at the courthouse all day and still hasn't been seen. They said jury selection could go until 6 today, and if they don't get through it all by then, he'll have to go back tomorrow. Not so much fun. But he also welcomes the break from teaching for a day.
I am trying to get the house more organized and functional. I want to get our closet with our food storage and emergency essentials more organized and I want the office turned into a more usable room, that's less office and more toy room, so we can get some of these toys out of the living room! It's proven very difficult. Brynley is my shadow and I can't get much done while she's napping because I don't want to wake her up! So it's slow going.
My hair is seriously short. Great Clips was having a big $6.99 haircut sale and I thought, "That's about $10 less then what I'd normally spend, I should do it". So I went in and thought all went okay, but it's hard to tell with my massively curly hair. So, I didn't see how horrible it was until Sunday morning when I straightened it for church. ICK! I HATED it. Brent said it looked "okay" (I know what that means)... but to me it looked like a shaggy half-mullet. So after church I went straight there and had them even out the layers more and round them out. In order to do that she had to take about another inch off the length... now I pretty much have to straighten it, or else I'll look like Justin Timberlake. At least I have about 3 weeks of growth before we get to Utah.
That's it for us for now. Brynley is walking all the time now but still not saying anything. Mariska is still obsessed with princesses and getting married. Other than that we're all just waiting and waiting for March 12th...
