When I decided to do this blog I told myself I would make my first post one week before leaving. I never thought this time would come so fast but I can honestly say I'm ready. The anticipation of leaving has been what I feel will be the most mentally trying time from this entire experience. I look forward to everything these next 4 months will bring and am ready for the challenge of living somewhere new and stepping out of my comfort zone every single day. I hope that through this blog I can attempt to show you through my eyes what I see and feel. There will be no rhyme or reason to my postings but if you choose to stay updated on my life abroad I will do the best I can to entertain.
For this first post I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes:
"When they die all good Americans go to Paris. Some of us have always tried to get there early to beat the crowds." (from Paris to the Moon)
I appreciate the support and encouragement from everyone who has helped me prepare (both mentally and literally). I'm lucky to have such wonderful people in my life.
I look forward to keeping in touch from Paris.

Oh Kate I am so excited to hear about all of your adventures!! Make sure that you get an icon on your desktop so that it's easy to remember to write often!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the time has finally come for you to leave! Seems like we've been talking about this for forever. I just got your text about being stuck in the NYC airport for the night. Let the adventures begin, right?!! ha.
ReplyDeleteAnyways...you are going to have the time of your life over the next 4 months. I hope everything goes extremely well for you over there and it's everything you hoped for. Can't wait to hear ALL about it. I will be anxiously awaiting your return in may! Love you katiebug!!
Katie - I miss you so much already! After Sunday nights experience, I think your Dad & I have a few more gray hairs. It's so hard to see your child far away and things not going the way they planned.....BUT...we know what a tough cookie you are & you will always persevere. I'm anxious to chart your adventures along the way. May God bless you and keep you safe until you return back home to us. Much Love, Hugs & Kisses!
