These days I'm trying to assemble something that resembles a packing list. I can pack two bags that each weigh no more than 50 pounds. I'm trying to figure out how to fit two years worth of needs into these two bags. But come to think of it, I don't really need to. Everything that one needs to survive is readily available to the people of Kazakhstan, and in turn, will be available to me.
This past weekend I had a sendoff/graduation party/family reunion back at the farm on which my dad grew up. Here's some pictures!
Above: My cousin Chris and his wife Angela. She's an amazing baker/chef
L to R: Cousin Kelly, Cheryl, her husband and my cousin Jeff, their daughter Megan, Kelly's hubby Randy

My cousin-once-removed Justin - he's 8 now and can bat leftie and rightie. Plus he has a great arm in the outfield. Look for him in the big leagues
