Yes, that’s right. This is the blog that chronicles my
attempt to cram all the stuff I will need for almost a year into one hiking
backpack.

 

Ok, you can stop laughing now.

 

Those of you who know me well-and especially those of you
who have lived with me and/or helped me move back and forth from Wheaton-know
that organizing, packing, and doing it all before four in the morning the night
before I leave is not generally my forte. Therefore, you should be impressed
that his blog is being written and posted more than 48 hours before I am
scheduled to fly out. I am officially packed for the World Race!

 

So, you may ask, how did I suddenly turn over a new leaf and
become a punctual person in possession of excellent spatial reasoning skills?
Watch the video to find out. (Ok, so I may have cheated a little bit.)

 

Disclaimer: Yes, my parents are nuts and they enjoyed their
moment in the spotlight far too much. Love y’all! Thank you Kaylan…you really are the best!
