How do you pack for 2 years?

I leave in one week from today!  Crazy eh?  Things are getting a bit hectic - and I lost some sleep last night BUT I am still so excited to go - just nervous, sad, happy...I think I am feeling everything at once.  

I did get my visa and I did get my support: PRAISE GOD!!!
Both are like real live miracles that God totally did - I know he answers prayers but its still simply amazing every time he does.  So crazy how that works!

Also, I have received so many emails from different missionaries that are already in Burkina Faso just wanting to let me know that they are excited for my arrival and they are there to help me - it makes going not so scary!

So now I am spending the week packing - which leads me to the question: how do I pack for 2 years?  My mom helped me roll all my clothes real small, I think that has helped.  Now I am just trying to figure out what else I should bring and what I don't need to bring.  Its quite a process.  SO if you have any advice please let me know :)

Thank you for your prayers, emails, encouragement - everything!  You guys are my supporters and I would not be going to do what God has put in front of me without you.  
I truly look forward to keeping you updated!

Also - thanks to everyone that was able to make it to my goodbye party!  I had a blast and it was a blessing to see you all one more time before I leave!  Thanks!
