Waiting.....

Well, I haven't posted anything since June, so here we go!  Since the last time I posted, I have gone on vacation to California to visit my brother and his kids and the rest of my extended family(loved seeing everyone!) packed my apartment(loved that place!), moved my stuff to my sister's garage(love my sister, dad and friends for helping me!), cleaned my apartment(thanks Daniele!), had a going away/birthday party(thank you to everyone for coming!), acquired an international driver's license (eeeek!), moved in with my parents(oh the joys of living in a retirement community!), and stopped working with the boy I have been working with for the past 5 years(sad day!), had lunch with some teachers that will be going over with me(we are all in the same spot of waiting....), and sold my car(woohoo!). I am now waiting for the illusive email stating I am really flying to the other side of the world!  In the mean time, I am hanging out with my closest friends and of course family before I embark on this incredible journey!
