It's so hard to believe that at this time tomorrow I will be in Guatemala! I can't explain my emotions right now: excited, anxious, stoked, curious, scared, happy... whatever it is doesn't matter because my flight leaves at 1:45! I fly to Houston first where I will meet the girl that I will be spending the next 11 weeks with. From there we fly to Guatemala City, where Luis (the local SWB guy) will meet us and take us to a hostel to sleep in for the night. We will catch a shuttle from Guatemala City to Solola Thursday morning, and get to attend a practice that afternoon. There will be 2 interns there that will overlap with us for 2 weeks, which I am really happy about. I'm sure they will show us the ropes in the time they are with us, and then it'll be Steph and I until August 15th!
Well this is where i'll say good-bye to Kansas City, and all of my family and friends. It has been so nice to spend this much time here, and each time i'm here I realize more and more how lucky I am to have the family that I have. I got to meet my new born cousin, Lucy, for the first time and she is beautiful. I got to spend time with my favorite little cousin Bennett, who just turned 2 and is the cutest thing ever! Most importantly, I got to spend the most amount of time with my Mom, who is the greatest person I have ever met. She will always be my best friend.
I'm definitely going to miss everything that I am leaving, but I think (and hope) that I am approaching the greatest journey of my life. Here it goes..
