Jake and Melissa Packing Up

So this past week we have spent some time saying farewell to Jalissa, as they leave today for Australia. Thursday night we all went to On the Border (see photo of Carl, me, Phillip, Jake, Todd, Melissa, Patrick, Wendy), and Friday night the 'boys' went to Buffalo Wild Wings while 'we girls' stayed at home. Friday night Jake's parents came here to the house to stay the night.

So today Jalissa have been packing up for their flights, and Todd and I are the beneficiaries of "stuff" that they can't take with them. I'm looking through my stack of loot now. It includes some pump soaps from Bath & Body Works, an electric toothbrush, a great curling iron, some ibuprofen, benadryl, sunscreen, wrapping paper and gift bags, a nice robe, a photo album, an empty 3-ring binder, and more. And they're not done.
