Excitement Begins and so do the Nerves...

My day began very odd. I actually slept a full nights rest and woke up when my alarm started singing "Stick Around" by Reckless Kelly. I knew I had to get up and clean my room but what was really happening today didn't sink in until about 45 minutes ago and now I feel rushed and anxious. You see, every time my family takes a vacation or just an important trip, I can never sleep the night before. But because of the frequent flyer miles and anxiety management, I seemed to have the best night of sleep I've gotten in about 3 weeks. I'm glad I did because my ticker is going to be really off the tick-tock this evening when we fly out from L.A. at 11 pm and jet down under to Auckland, New Zealand. I'm going to try my best to keep you all posted as the trip progresses. Hopefully, I can find a computer with a good internet connection to keep in touch with my family and friends. Also, please pray for us as we travel the South Pacific & the Thonsgaard & Jones' families, who lost loved ones in a tragedy this past weekend.

Have a great beginning of y'alls summer! xoxo
