We arrived back in Lubbock just a day and a half before our flight out to Vienna. We got one more good day with my parents, and did some last minute business and arranging, and then tried to get a good nights rest for the big day ahead of us. Packing up 9 large peices of checked baggage and 7 carry-ons was quite the process, but I managed. I must say that I think the fact that I had so much practice packing and unpacking during our Vagabond summer, I'm basically a packing professional now.

All packed and ready to head to the airport.

Long story short (now that you’ve already endured the LONG version) - we had a WONDERFUL summer with many great friends, and almost all of our family. It was the best way we could have spent our last couple months (for a while anyways) in the U.S. To all our dear family and friends - we love you. Thanks for your continued love, prayers, and support. It seriously means the world to us! We will miss you all dearly in Vienna!
