The Journey Begins...

I thought I'd try this blogging thing. Mainly because I suck at journaling and I want to keep a record of this time in my life. I hit the point where I realized I could do almost anything I wanted, yet I was doing everything that made me feel worthless. So after talking to a wise, practical man who told me that whatever I do I should NEVER quit my job before I get another one, I quit my job and moved all my stuff back to my parents house. Oooops.

I decided I want to go on my own adventure. Now, if you know me at all you know that I am not the most independent person in the world. I like being surrounded by people who know me and love me. So an adventure for me might be different than for most people. I decided what could be better than spending time with my brother and his wife as well as my best friend in the whole world? Nothing! So that's where I am. I leave for Portland at 6:05 am tomorrow and have a return flight on July 22nd. I am overflowing with excitement. I am trying my best to not have unattainable expectations, but I am positive that I want to improve myself on this journey. I want to be more confident in my own skin and better learn how to rely on the Lord while I'm somewhat out of my comfort zone. In order to grow you have to challenge yourself right? That's my goal... Along with learning choreographed dances, reading harry potter, hiking mount st helens, etc. :)

But for now I must sleep. My alarm goes off at 4am!
