holy cow!

Where has the time gone? I can't believe summer is already over and the kids are back in school. What happened? It just gets us that much closer to our departure date though--how exciting!

So some things have been happening behind the scenes so I thought I'd just get everyone caught up to speed so here they are:

1. There are officially two buses. The large 56-seat bus will be leaving from Davis County and going the northern route through Wyoming. The small 29-seat bus will be leaving from Lehi and stopping in Crescent Junction, taking the southern route. We are planning to all meet up in Ft. Collins at the hotel. The reason for the two routes is that we have a large group from southeastern Utah that is going and this is a way to help reduce a huge amount of driving for them. Let's all cross our fingers that everything goes according to plan! The southern bus people have been contacted and you know who you are. If you don't know which bus you're on, let me know and I'll tell you.

2. I still have spots available! Because I added the second bus I now find myself needing to fill some seats--and I would love your help! As of right now I've got 3 on the small bus and 17 on the big bus. I'm doing as much (free) advertising as I can and if you've got any way to spread the word, please do. Pass on my contact info to anyone and everyone, send out emails to your family and friends, post it on your blog, hang a sign up at work or your gym, whatever! I'd really appreciate it.

3. For those of you who still owe a balance, the September 1st payoff date is looming. Feel free to contact me if you need to know how much you owe.

4. I'm finalizing room lists to pass along to the hotel and there are some issues that need to be worked out. Please let me know who you want to be in a room with so that I know who is going where and exactly how many rooms I need. I also need to make sure that there are four people to the rooms that paid for quads, three for triples, etc. Let me know if you have questions about this as well.

That's it for this post, I think. Hope everyone had a wonderful summer!
