Sweet Home Alabama...

...which is where I am right now. I can hardly BELIEVE how fast this summer has gone...it seems like just yesterday I was greeting the humid, sticky stickiness that IS summer in Florida. Now I'm in Birmingham, Alabama, at Amy's house (for those of you who don't know her, she has lived in Jordan for the past 3 years, met her when I went last year, and she is awesome!). In SIX days, we fly out to Jordan. It will be her millionth time, and my first.

Packing last week was ridiculous....i am not the best of packers, I wish I was better, especially since I've done it alot in the last two years. But I managed to stuff and squeeze all my crap into all of my bags, so it is well with my soul.

I can honestly say at this point in the game that I am SO excited and ready to get over there. I have been home for about 9 months now, and during those 9 months I have been preparing and waiting. My time at home was what I needed, even though honestly the travel bug within me wanted to GO GO! But man I learned so much. I needed that growing time, with my church, with my AMAZING family and friends. But now it's time. I'm not fully ready, but I guess thats a good thing? I am just SO excited for this new season and all the exciting things that will happen. I hope you are excited too to see all the things that "Dad" is going to do too!

So that was my blog about my EXCITEMENT. Interesting, I know. I'm sure next week I will have a LOT more to write about!
