A Bundle of Joy or Just a TON of Paperwork?

The illustrious invite packet is now sprawled across the table in my living room as I attempt to finish every piece of paperwork as fast as I can.

Here's my to-do list so far:
-Update Resume
-Aspiration Statement
-No-Fee Passport Signed & Mailed Off

The last item left will be completed today (or at least I'm hoping to do so).

Apart from this, the next step would be to tackle that ridiculous packing list. As a person who carries a backpack with two shirts and a pair of jeans on what friends consider 'long trips', this will be difficult. I can just see myself asking, Do I really need this?
Oh boy.
