Here It Comes!!!

I know I said I was going to be better at this blogging thing... but not much has happened since the last time I wrote a post. I will just update you on somethings.

I am still for sure going to Germany. It is a done deal. My dad bought my plane ticket and I am set to go travel wise. I still need to physically and mentally prepare myself. I have a lot of things that I want to get before I go. I am in the process of getting a Kindle because I don't want to take a lot of books/movies with me and I think that will be a great solution to less luggage. It is hard for me because I have a harder time with buying things that cost more than a lot of little things. Haha. I am also going to be getting some clothes. I am looking at getting sweaters and pants, snow stuff, etc. (If anyone wants to help me out in these areas, money or buying things for me, I won't object... ;))

Mentally I think I am ready, as of now. When it gets closer I don't think I will be as ready. Goodbyes are hard for me and I know that saying goodbye to my family is going to be the hardest thing I have ever done. When I went to school, I was close enough to be able to come home and visit at least once a month. When I go to Germany that will not be able to happen. I thought I was going to be able to see my family in July when we celebrate my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary, but we can't afford to get me to Alaska, so that won't be happening. I already know that I will be homesick but it will be easier than college was. I will have a family that I will be living with, I will be able to learn new things, I will be able to go travel and I will not be stressed with having to turn things in and take tests and deadlines like I was at college.

I was at recess today and one of the little first graders came up to me and asked me when I was leaving. I thought about it for a second and realized that I only have 3 more weeks left at the elementary school and 6 weeks from today I will be on a plane headed to Germany. It is crazy how fast it is coming. I feel like I have so much to do before it gets here but I really don't. I just have to pack my bags and leave. But that is easier said than done.

I know that this is supposed to happen. I still have no idea why, but I know that for whatever reason Heavenly Father wants me in Germany this upcoming year with the Vuksanovic's is going to be amazing and a great learning/growing experience for me. And don't get me wrong, I am SO excited! I can't wait for it to finally begin. I can't wait to actually be in Germany instead of just talking about being in Germany! :) It will most likely be hard at times to keep my head held high but I know the Lord will be with me, so I will be able to do it.

Thanks for reading! My exciting adventure begins in 42 DAYS!!!
