Sometimes the “to-do” list seems endless – it can even get depressing at times. Since we’re getting ready to depart in a few weeks, we’ve been working extra hard and it seems like there’s not enough time. So I went over the list of things we’ve accomplished so far and now I feel a little better. I know I missed a few things but I thought I’d share the “done” list here.

Sherrell had gall bladder removed
Ok the last item wasn’t really on the list, but there’s no time like the present to deal with a medical problem that could become deadly like gall stones. So if you’re counting, that’s 5 surgeries in 9 months for poor Sherrell – that’s a lifetimes worth.
