At the beginning of the summer, I said to myself, "Wow, two months and we'll be shipping off". And it felt like two hours. Honestly, I can't remember a time that went by any faster. Some work, some play, and a lot of expectation. The last couple days have been the opposite. Turning, pacing, thinking-- not really worried, perhaps just anxious. Although I will miss my friends, my family, spending summer afternoons playing golf or basketball, I cannot help but wonder all that awaits Joy and me in the next four months.
And today it all begins. Two flights, twenty-one hours in the air. It will be tiring, and boring at times (especially the long layover between flights) but we're in this together and 'tis all we need. But as we fly across international waters for the land down under, we will remember all of our friends and families' good wishes and prayers, and begin a new journey for all of us, for you all have really made this amazing opportunity possible, and pushed us to follow our dreams. So, thank you. Until next time. **tip of the hat**
