Everything has a beginning, and this is mine.


…well, not the official beginning, but a beginning nonetheless!


This beginning is a little different from anything I’ve ever done before.  Never in my life have I lived out of a backpack for 11 months.  Never have I been away from home for so long…including college.  It’s a beginning of something totally new and different.  It used to be something like this would scare me half to death and send me running in the opposite direction.  But not anymore!  My excitement level about this has not diminished one bit since I found out I was going, and I am earnestly awaiting for all the new things, different things, and challenges I will be faced with in this upcoming year.  In time I’m sure I will get scared and the unknown will give me the temptation to run the other way, but for right now I’m still taking it all in and getting way overwhelmed with all the stuff I have to do!


Nothing too inspiring or thoughtful…just a beginning.
