Pre-Departure

So I leave tomorrow night. I don't think the reality of it has truly hit me yet; it still feels surreal that I'll be flying halfway around the world in something like 36 hours (and probably by the time some read this, I'll be there!). I am absolutely so excited to be going there, and doing the work I'll be doing--it feels exactly like what I'm supposed to be doing, especially with the way everything worked out so perfectly for it. Which doesn't of course mean I'm not also quite nervous...

But as Maria's told me, I am so blessed and protected. That is the truth. I know I'll be just fine, and the experience will change my life (an exhilarating thought!). But thanks for the prayers and support! And thanks for listening :)
