and the journey begins...

THE TIME HAS ARRIVED. Holy guacamole. Tomorrow the journey begins by driving to Peoria, Illinois to stay the night with my grandma, then we will drive to Chicago the next day to meet up with John and Anthony to catch the flight at 5 pm!

Things I am looking forward to (before departure):
1. sleeping in my bed one last night.
2. Going to morning mass tomorrow (which could potentially be my last English spoken mass for a very long time)
3. Taking AT LEAST 2 very long showers, because it will be the last time that I will feel clean until July 5th. 
4. the large steak dinner that my dad will be making tomorrow night at my grandma's house... I am going to miss eating meat.
5. drinking as much COLD water as I can.
6. Spending as much time as I can in air conditioned environments.


I would make a list of things that I am looking forward to in the near future, but the list is rather long. But I think I can sum it up by saying: I am looking forward to traveling for 28 hours and ending up on the opposite side of the world and learning how to survive and be independent, yet dependent on God.

Here's to the next  2 months and the adventure of a life time. The next time you will be hearing from me we will hopefully be in INDIA! Blessed Mother Teresa pray for us! India here we come!!!

See you on the FLIP SIDE! LITERALLY!!
