Tomorrow is a new beginning as I am starting my journey around the world! I have an early morning flight to Houston and then on to Moscow. I have been planning this trip for a very long time and it is hard to believe that the day is already here. I am very excited, but also very nervous.

The last week has been so busy preparing for this day. I have been busy packing up all of my stuff, because I had to move all of my stuff out of my roomates house to store it. And I had to make sure I had everything I needed for my trip as well. There have been several moments during this week that hit me and made me realize just what it is that I am doing. First, was my last day at work, just realizing that I would probably never see some of my co-workers again as well as probably not go back to that building again. The next moment was when I sold my truck a few days ago. As they were driving my truck away, I got a little anxious feeling in my stomach. I loved my truck, but I would never get to drive it again! And I also thought to myself, "what am I doing?!" But the moment, that hit me the most, was Saturday night as I watched a good friend leaving to go home from the bar we were at. I know I would talk to them again, but I also knew it would be a long time before I would see them again.

So, yeah I am anxious, not only about traveling around the world by myself, but also about leaving some friends behind. I hope they will message me on here or over facebook or even by e-mail, because that will definately help during those lonely moments that will happen when I am on the road. I am looking forward to meeting and hanging out with new people on my trip, but hearing from friends from home will always make my day!

So, please wish me luck as I begin my journey and I promise to update this more often from now on. See ya!
