Day #30 and #31

We found out this week that we will be moving before I leave for Thanksgiving in Indiana.  That means that we have only three weeks to pack and organize everything plus get ready to travel across the country.  I decided that cards for days 30 and 31 weren't all that important with the craziness schedule coming.  I finished 29 cards and so I'm calling it for the month.
