the dreaded TEST PACK

Loren has been wanting to do a 'test pack' of our things just to see if what we want to take is realistic. I, Jessica, on the other hand, have been dreading this event because it is tedious and I don't want to know that it can't all go.

Well we fairly successfully went through stuff again and packed 4 of 6 bags completely. We are taking 3 bags each that can weigh 50 pounds each. 300 pounds seems like it should be enough right? Well I, for one would love to get to take more but this is a great reminder that it's just not about belongings that can be stolen and can rust.
