Hi everybody! It's been awhile, I know. I've been super busy getting everything together for my trip. Immunizations (terrible), visa stuff, flight tickets, gifts for my family, and so much more! It's been crazy. I've barely had time to even think about the fact that I won't be here for a year after the 30th. I'm unbelievably excited, but it's hard to imagine not being around my family and friends for such a long time. 

Thanks so much to everybody that has given me donations! It's been so helpful. I will definitely update my blog before I leave and say goodbye to everybody!
