It's About That Time

We are only days away from getting on a plane and flying out to Nepal to start the three-week adventure through the Himalayas.

NOTE TO FAMILY- IF YOU WANT TO SEE CONFIRMATIONS THAT I AND THE REST OF THE TEAM ARE ALIVE, OBSERVE THIS BLOG.

To be honest, I don't really know what to expect for this trip! I also think that is a good thing, since I will be able to keep an open mind on the experiences we will encounter. This will be the longest I have been out of the country, and also the furthest I have been from home. I think that both of those concern my parents (especially Momma) more than they concern me. I love the adventure, and the opportunity to use what I know to help people in need. Trips like these are why I got into engineering to begin with- the things I have learned are completely universal and can be applied to any place in the world.

The summer has gone by faster with this being the big finale, and I really couldn't be more excited. I am very thankful to be a part of an engineering program that makes these opportunities available to its students. I would like to thank my family for their support, especially my great-grandmother who still thinks she can keep me from getting on that plane. The next update will probably happen when we start the travel!

Love you all and thanks again.
