Almost the 1 week mark!

I just wanted to give a quick update. I didn't realize that I could adjust the comment settings. So, I've decided to allow open comments which means you don't have to register a google name or anything like that. You can simply go to my blog, hit the comment button, and leave a message! :)

South Africa is getting a lot closer and I'm getting more and more excited.

Talk to everyone soon!

Less than a month!

I've officially hit the less than one month mark. Ready to go? Nope.

Thankfully I received my visa and passport back in plenty of time so I don't need to worry about any of that. I do need help though with thinking of things that are important to take. Got any ideas? Leave ideas in your comments! I would really appreciate it.

And I'm thankful to those who are really excited for me at this point in my life. This is a big step for me to take. I've never been out of the country by myself, let alone for 3 months! So, to my family and some dear friends, thank you for being so supportive. I appreciate it more than you'll ever know. I'm going to miss some of you so much!

Everything is finally coming together... slowly but surely. :-)
