The Saturday Before Departure

For those of you unsure what this blog business is...it is basically an online journal that you can post comments to (that everyone can read). HOWEVER, these comments will not replace your personal emails to me. Understand?

I hope this blog works and that I actually use it.

So here we go. Today is the day of Mary's (my step-sister) wedding and my last weekend in the United States for about a year. I have started the packing process and my room looks like nothing it has ever looked like; clothes everywhere! The packing process is crazy, needing everything from running clothes to a sports jacket and ties. I must pack for all four seasons as well. Wow!

I am extremely excited as any of you who have spoken with me recently know. As of now, there is no nervousness or anxiety in my stomach...only anticipation! I think this will be enough for the first blog! Happy weekend everyone!
