| Brad and Jen's journal entry for: July 20, 2001 |
| Hello, It has been a while since we have written. We are lost in trying to pack up our lives. Can you believe we fit our whole lives into a 5x9 storage locker? It sure is liberating to simplify and get rid of things that are just not needed. We am in the process of trying to figure out and use our digital camera. We know it can't be that tough to get pictures on the page, however, I have not figured it out yet. We have one more week in our apartment and then it is on the road. First we are off to Red Wing to attend Brad's brother, Todd, wedding. It is going to be a big shindig. Then we are hoping to do a 3 or 4 day boat trip on the Missippi, possibly a trip to Wyoming, back to Crown Point for a "Send off party" on August 25 (your invited and anyone you want to bring), then a wedding for Brad's cousin, Jimmy, in Lacrosse WI, on Labor Day weekend. Finally, back to Indiana to make final preparations for our departure on September 5. A whirl wind for sure. We look forward to seeing everyone before we leave. Thanks for your support and for listening to Brad ramble on and on about the trip (once he gets his mind on something...). Be safe and be happy, Brad and Jennifer |
