The beginning!

So this is the start of my blog!  Right now the trip is still being planned but I've bought my tickets and paid for school so it is totally happening!

For those of you who don't know this already, I am going to Europe to do some traveling, visit family and go to Capernwray!  I'm leaving August 18 and will be home Christmas Eve.  I really want to spend Christmas with my family!  I'm traveling with Amy Wiebe, my roommate and friend.  We are going to Germany, France and Italy.  I will be attending the fall Bible School at Tauernhof  in Austria.  I might pop into Switzerland for a weekend during the school term and then after school is over I'm heading back to Germany to meet all my relatives!  I'm excited to meet all my cousins and their kids!  Should be interesting since the majority of them don't speak english!

I'll be using this blog to keep people updated and its so you all know that I'm still alive!  I'll still check my facebook and email but it wont be that regularly.  Luckily most of the hostels I'm staying in and the school has internet.  

I'm so EXCITED!!!  This is just another step that shows I'll be leaving soon.
