My trip begins

Sitting at the airport with two whole hours of sleep under my belt, a little groggy and posting on a public forum. Yeah, I'm cool. Anyway, I thought I should start my trip by expressing my thanks.  I don't want the people who make my life so great to doubt that their influence is what keeps me going.  I will start with my family.  This wonderful group of crazies made me who I  am and love me even when I am going off the deep end with one of my crazy, I think fantastic, ideas and prop me back up when thing don't go as planned.  Extending this family group are my friends with particular focus on the looney ones that let me convince them that my great ideas are totally plausible and then join me in the insanity.  I want to thank Swiss Air not only for giving me this ticket but also for putting up with my seemingly never ending phone calls and emails. I am sure you regretted giving this prize to me but you never got fed up and told me to F off and part of me is impressed by your patience and the rest is just consumed by the excitement that the end is finally here and I will soon use my ticket. To complete this message of gratitude, I want to thank God. I didn't start here as He already knows but I do want to say to the world that I am grateful for all my prayers that were answered and and all that were not.  If things were suppuse to be different than they would be.  Praise the Lord and let the boarding begin. Amen.

One Week! Let the freak out begin!

So, seriously, I just stayed up until after midnight to write this.  I LEAVE IN ONE WEEK!!!  Not that I am excited or anything but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!  I am rather harshly torn my super excitedness that my trip is so close, my slight panic that I am not sure what to expect since I am going places I have never been before and will be by myself at that, and my nonstop thoughts of all the things I need to get done before I leave.  This weekend will be very busy and I know that I should be steeping now but I just can't.  Too much to think about.  I am really excited to go back to being a wanderer.  I am hoping that it will help to settle me.  I have started thinking about where to go from here but am not ready to leave.  To add to all that I have downsized my backpack to make sure that I will not have to check it and seeing how little space I will have and knowing that I will be wandering this time with all my current, tangible possessions strapped to my back makes me a bit nervous.  I am sure it will be fine though.  I am incredibly lucky if you ask me.  There is a small fear at the back of my mind that knows that I might be too lucky and it will run out or something but I will not worry about it.  That is just not who I chose to be.  One week!

Less than a month!

So, I am writing this on my tablet to test it out and it is a bit slow.  In just over two weeks I leave for Europe and I will be there for two weeks by myself.  I wasn't able to get the other ticket worked out.  I will be blogging and adding pics as often as I can but as I am not really sure who reads this will only be adding locations after I have been there.  Am a little worried but as with me normally, I am sure that everything will work out.  That is how my life goes.  It just works out. I don't know why.  In the long run, I am just super blessed.  I made it to my new home in Texas with no plan right?  That was about six weeks of aimless wandering!  Now to start stressing about the packing.
