Every Journey Begins Somewhere

Words are my escape, my comfort, my sanity. They clarify my confusion, calm my frayed nerves, and preserve my day to day life. 

It seemed fitting that as I am about to embark on a life changing journey, I should blog about it. Instead of cluttering up my other blog and to keep these separate for future reminiscing, I just created an entirely fresh new one. Hurrah for the technological age and the endless wonders of the internet. 

To kick the blog off, I wanted to voice a bit of awe at the fact that this trip will actually be happening for me. 7 weeks in Europe was a dream I never actually expected to come to fruition. One of those things you break out on a rainy day and look at for a while, but then store in the deep recesses of your brain for the majority of your life. 

I can't even begin to explain how incredibly thankful I am for everyone that has helped me get to this point. A lot of prayer, support, encouragement, and determination were necessary to make this happen. 

So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

In two weeks and five days I will be boarding a plane to London and fulfilling one of my lifetime dreams. The ensuing 7 weeks will most likely be a whirlwind of new experiences, foreign places, beauty beyond my imagination, and memories that will last a lifetime. 

Here's to a summer worth remembering.
