Packin' it up with love...

My annual medical mission trip to Belize is a little over 4 weeks away. I can't believe it got here so fast!! I am so excited....especially because my BFFs Jana and Cindy (she lives in Houston) will be going on the trip with me!! Jana and I headed out to the warehouse this morning to pack our supplies for the trip. We take everything, I mean everything, with us.

These blue packs we have to make ourselves....it has most of our supplies for surgery.
Here is all our "extra" stuff that we drag with us....

Keep in mind, this is only the supplies for the eye team (that's me, Jana, Cindy, and Dr. G)....the plastic surgery team usually takes 2-3 times this much stuff. That is a lot of boxes!!

Jana and I took a break so Kari could take a picture of us....

Kari and Jana's daughter, Jaylee, kept themselves entertained up front in the office...
And taking a break to eat lunch....

Silly girls...

As you can see, the trip involves A LOT of preparation and it is A LOT of work when we are there, but it is so rewarding and we have SO MUCH fun!! Especially since my besties are going....

Until next time...
