Yesterday there was a get-together in the cities put on by Up with People alumni for the students who are traveling this coming semester and their families. There are actually 5 people from Minnesota traveling this semester!! I met them all last night and it was a BLAST!!! It was nice to bounce questions off the other students and talk to them about all the emotions that were running through all of us and it definitely helped put me at ease realizing that I wasn't standing alone and that I was going to at least know a couple people when I arrive to Denver in July. During the get-together though I had many 'is this really happening?' moments and I still can't believe that I am really doing this. I would not have guessed in a million years that I would take a leap like this and spend an entire 5 months traveling around the world with people I don't know yet! Oh man... what a thrill!! I am sooooooooooo excited and can't wait to jump into action. I am getting anxious just thinking about it!!
Also, I want to send out a HUGE "Thanks a million!!" to everyone that has supported me as I have decided to take this adventure!!! I am so very excited to start and especially excited to share all of this with all of you!!! I know that I would not be doing this had I not been so openly supported by everyone around me!! I thank God that he has put such incredible people into my life and I know that He is really leading me where He wants me to go because I never planned or booked this into my life plan but I am certainly glad that He has!! Anyways, a huge thanks again to all of you and there will definitely be more to come... So grab a seat, hang on, and get ready to take this ride with me!!!!
Also, I am including a slide show of some fun pictures so that I learn to get the hang of putting them on my blog so enjoy the pictuers below!!
