Clothes, clothes, and more clothes

The search is on for good tropical weather hiking clothes. LLBean had some great options, but their sizes run small, so all the stuff I ordered from there has to be sent back. I'm waiting on a package to arrive from REI - hopefully that stuff will fit better. Good thing we decided to order clothes now so we have time to do all the exchanging. The hiking panties and sports bra that I bought fit though, so that's great! (Yes, they do make special panties and sports bras for hiking in tropical climates. Go figure.)

Minus the hiking clothes, I'm good on shirts. I have enough sleeveless, lightweight shirts to last me about a week or so, and I figure I can wear some shirts twice, or wash them in the kitchen sink at our cottage and hang them out to dry during the day while we're gone. Shorts and capris... I need to figure out what I have and what I need to get. Waiting on my bathing suit to get here too. I wanted one that was more "athletic" with the swim shorts instead of just a normal bottom for when we're kayaking, etc. JCPenney had a good option that was on sale, so hopefully it'll fit right and look semi-decent.

Our waterproof camera arrived this week, as did our "neck cool" scarves. You soak them in water for 15 minutes, and then tie them around your neck and it's supposed to help keep you cool all day. We'll see how those work out. They weren't expensive at all, so if they don't work, it's not too much money down the drain.

Not much else has been done as far as the trip is concerned. We need to book our rental car and reserve our "outings". Other than that, I think it's just a matter of going down the checklist and making sure we've bought everything we need, and then packing.

Most of my time lately has been working on finishing up this semester - classes and internship. And also applying for jobs, sending our resumes, etc. I have two interviews scheduled thus far down in Louisiana, and I'm waiting on a job description so I can apply for anothe position that I've been told I'm "perfect" for. Yeah, it's stressful, and it gets even more stressful when I hear of another friend or person in my program/semester getting a job. I haven't even had an interview yet. But I'm trusting God and knowing that He'll provide the right thing for me. His timing is perfect, even when I want His timing to be sooner rather than later!
