So it's 12 am, we fly out at 8 am, and i doubt i'll sleep tonight i'm so excited. This trip still doesn't feel real and I think Eric said it best, "I won't beleive it until we walk off the plane, look at each other, and laugh because we have no idea what we're doing." It's true too, i don't think we know what we're getting into but that's always the draw. I know we'll be fine because each of us is level headed and we respect each other (feel better mom?).
Over the last couple of weeks family and friends have been telling me how amazed they are that i'm going to Guatemala to live for six months at an orphanage, but it's really no big deal. Each time i think about how i'm amazed at what they do. Some have a family and virtuous, well paying jobs, some are working the nitty gritty jobs to save for the big dream, some are joining the military, and other's simply impress me by their nature. All are amazing people.
So, that's all i've got for now. Everything i'm taking fits into one bag now weighing in at 60+ lbs. and another bag containing books to read on the plane. I'll talk to ya'll in Guatemala.
