Less than two weeks!

So I got my new backpack! Whew. I really like it, it's smaller than my old one, as you can see. Can't wait to get to use it!This time I don't have the luxury of packing whatever I want. I know it doesn't look a whole lot smaller, but it feels a whole lot smaller. I went with the Deuter 45+ SL as opposed to my old one, a Northface Cestone 60 (Women's). I'm already in love with the Deuter. This time I did a little more research than walking into EMS and going "that one's cute!" Can't believe I leave in less than two weeks. Things have slowed down at work a good amount, so at least it's a good time to leave. Tomorrow night Mom and I go to Hope Lodge to cook dinner. It's kinda like Ronald McDonald House, it's a place for people receiving chemo and their families to stay while they are receiving treatment. Paul's the night manager so we said we'd come in a cook dinner. Lasagna and salad. May not sound super exciting, but that's because you've never had my mother's lasagna.
Also, I set up my tent so my sister Kate could see it- I feel like it must be nice if it even got a reaction out of Kate. She even said she'd consider going camping this summer!
