Almost there.

Howdy everyone. Mike and I have spent the past few weeks frantically getting ready for our wedding, spending time with friends and family, and now frantically getting the last of our gear together and organizing for our hike. It looks like now we'll be starting a day ahead of what we thought, actually stepping foot on the trail sometime Friday instead of Saturday.
We are currently in Sherwood, MD with Mom and Alan where we've been packing and relaxing for the past 3 days. Tomorrow morning at around 10 Mom and Alan will shoo us into the car after we check, double check, and triple check our stuff (and of course we'll leave something behind) and drive to Savage, MD where my dad will be picking us up and driving us the remaining ~9 hours to Amicalola Falls Park in Georgia. We'll probably get a hotel room somewhere on the way and set off on the approach trail to the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail Friday morning or early afternoon.
We are out of our minds with excitement; I don't think we'll sleep a wink these next two nights.
2 days till AT. Holy moly!

We just said goodbye to you and we miss you already. So glad we saw all of your equipment and that we got to hang out a little. I know that you'll have the time of your lives. Twinky misses you, too.

Ok, you have officially begun your journey right? I will be checking this regularly and harassing you often . . . I am already curious as to how it is going.

We both had an amazing time at the wedding. I am so so so glad we came. We miss you and are thinking of you.

- Jaclyn and Andrew
