Okay! I'm going to keep a blog while I travel this incredible world for 8 months of my life with some incredible people! I am so excited, I cannot wait! But let me tell you, I am so grateful to be near home for once in my life for an extended period. So lucky to be close to good friends and family for a while before I go MIA for a while. It will be nice to be away from technology for a while. Hard, but so nice. So I will have to cut back on my texting and facebook addiction...eh who needs it anywho?
