Off to Illinois

So I'm flying out today at 3:55pm to Illinois so I can bring my baby sister back home. I'm so very excited I can't hardly stand it. She moved out to Naperville with her husband and 3 children about 5 years ago and now they are getting divorced. We were the best of friends and saw each other just about every day and since she's been gone we've only seen each other twice. We do talk on the phone alot, but it is just not the same. My flight gets in at 9:55pm and she'll be there to pick me up along with the 4 children she now has (one of my trips out there was for the birth of the youngest). Tomorrow we will be throwing a going away party for the kids, with all of their friends. It will be a 5 hour long hopefully uneventful ordeal. I just hope we all survive it! After all that is said and done, we have to pack the remainder of whatever she hasn't packed, and I'm hoping it's not alot because if my dad shows up on Saturday and she isn't fully packed up, he may just go ballistic. Let's just say he's had a few bad moves with me. I'm not the most organized when it comes to moving. We'll have 2 days to get everything all set up for the move.
We'll be leaving on the 10th for our wonderful 2000 mile road trip with 2 sisters, 4 kids ages 10, 9, 6 and 2 and a jack russell terrier named Dooey followed up with a 26ft moving truck with my dad and stepmom bringing up the rear. Wish me luck!
