The Countdown is ON

38 days till I'm going to the D. R.

Today was a crazy day. The weather was rainy and crappy all day, and I've had a horrible headache all day. It's brutal!

On other news about D.R.: As part of trying to prepare to the trip everyone on the team has committed to either fast from food for one day a week over the next 6 weeks or to fast from one thing over the 40 days leading up to the trip. I chose to fast from something for the 40 days. I'm fast from junk food. It wasn't too hard today since I wasn't feeling well so I wasn't really craving junk food. But I know this is going to be super hard. I mean this mean NO cookies, or chocolate or ice cream, or candy, or chips, or anything like that. But while I'm craving these things it's suppose to remind me to pray and to prepare us for the trip.

Is this really happening.

Well I know it's been awhile since I've actually written a blog entry. It's not that I haven't wanted to. I keep thinking of things I want to blog about, but I forget to come and do it.

Not much has changed in my life. I'm still working and living at the same place. I'm still doing most of the same things. But there is definitely one exciting thing going on....

I'm going on a Mission Trip. I can't believe it, I'm so excited. There are 10 people from the College and Career group at my church. We are going to the Dominican Republic from May 9-16. I've known about it for a couple of months now. But it's just been in the last 2 weeks that we finalized the dates. We had our first official planning meeting today. My plane ticket is bought. Wow. It's only 40 days away. I can't even believe how soon that is. It's insane! Oh my goodness. Wow.

I plan to document the exciting happenings of the weeks leading up to the trip on my blog, so stay tuned for lots (hopefully) more blog entries about the all the stuff I'm doing to get ready for this amazing adventure.
