12 hours and counting down

Finally, I've entered the realm of blogging! :)

In about 12 hours I'll be on my way to the airport for a month long trip to SE Asia. I'll be visiting missionaries from my work and visiting friends from when I lived in Thailand. I look forward to sharing stories & photos of this journey here instead of the emails I've sent in the past.

It's finally hit me...and the butterflies have set in! :) My last minute shopping is finished and now it's time to pack it all up and take care of details here at home. I've got 2 large suitcases traveling with me to carry those treasured items over for folks on the field and to bring back the last of my belongings that have been in Thailand for the past 2 years! It's about time..... A few of the requested items from missionaries on the field...marshmallows, Kraft Mac and Cheese, p-nut butter, chocolate and make up. We have many other treats to share with them as well. I love being able to bring these bits of home to the field as I know how treasured they become when you can't get them (or you can but for crazy ridiculous prices).

Well, I should get back to the "details" of finishing up here. Look for the next entry from somewhere on the other side of the world!!

Thanks for all your prayers of safety!!
