This is it. I said my last goodbyes to friends today. The journey begins tomorrow! For those interested, I hope to keep posting on this blog. But no guarantees. At this point I'm mainly writing this because it's a good way to avoid the last things that need to be done before I'm off. Apart from packing and saying goodbye to my family, I am looking forward to EVERYTHING else. I received my host family information and location about three weeks ago. As far as I can tell it seems we'll mesh well. Can't say I've met them yet, but I am veryyy ready to. I've exchanged a number of emails with my host mother Inger. My family sounds wonderful. I've always loved kids, and now for a change I'll get to be the older sibling. My house is red, the perfect house. As excited as I am for the orientations..I'm looking forward to meeting and moving in with my new family most. Bellingham is a beautiful place with some wonderful people, but I am off to explore the world. And I am as ready as could be. As soon as my clothes magically jump into my suitcase. Haven't figured out the trick to that yet though, so I best get to that. It's harder than I thought..buuut I have a lovely packing list to guide me, so all is well.
Farewell Bellingham! :) Don't forget me!
