Launch… I don’t really know where I should start. Maybe with the fact I’m sitting writing this blog at our base in Costa Rica at the base of a beautiful mountain. Obviously I made it past TSA and Customs no matter how nervous I was. I haven’t really cried yet, I’m waiting for when the reality sets in because this feels like a dream. I may or may not have teared a bit when I saw my dogs though. This last Sunday was the first day of launch and the first day of my race. Monday I said goodbye to my family, Tuesday was lots of learning and repacking, and at 2 am today (Wednesday September 12) we gathered and prepared to leave the US for the next 9 months. I’m currently running on 2 hours of sleep, a couple cat naps, and lot of over expensive caffeine. I’m tired and honestly not processing at all. And there’s no place I’d rather be.as soon as I get Wifi I’ll be calling my mom and taking a video to say hi so I’ll probably add on to this before I post. It’s gorgeous btw. Anyhow peace out
So it is now Friday and I’m sitting at McDonalds after just FaceTiming my family. I have realized I can’t find my sunscreen and bug repellent and my bed is a mess of randomly scattered stuff, the showers are freezing (I kinda like it though), and we have ministry starting today. Yesterday was full of orientation and touring the area and was quite frankly exhausting. I’m struggling through my Spanish but I managed to get coffee so all is good. We’re about to head to Walmart across the street for things we forgot or lost so even though this blog is a little short I’m going to post it anyway. My thoughts are not in any way coherent but this just give you an insight to what goes on in my head! Anyway love you guys!
