Feb 23, 2010 Nagging Mothers At Their Best.

The trip is in two weeks and I’m starting to feel the nerves and excitement coming my way. I’m so excited and stoked for what’s yet to come and reading through my old entries I’m a super excited kid! I’m also honestly a bit nervous because it’s something we’ve all never done before and it’s kind of crazy going to such a cold new environment. But then again that’s also the exciting part. It’s a crazy thing to think that in a few weeks we’re going to be finally be on the plane that we talked about going on for almost a year now, and we’re going to finally be working our bums off to complete a project that we’ve talked about for yet again, almost a year.
My mom has been really antsy and worried lately about me being “ready” for the trip. She’s been nagging me saying that I need to get this and I need to get that and to call this person and that person. I’ve been prolonging it and saying that I’m going to get to it and that I’m not that worried about it that everything will get done but the truth is I’m really worried. There is so much to do before we leave and honestly, I need to start pretty soon. Getting everything together is going to drive me crazy and make me over think because I’m a “full-load-packer” so this is going to be a real test for me! It’s and exciting test though. I just wanted to put that nagging mom thing out there just incase anyone is feeling the same way. She’s actually talking to me about Mongolia right now, that’s ironic. Got to love her for it though!
I’m stoked to leave and excited for everything new. Excited for the change in culture, scenery and yes even weather! It’s time for new experiences and new connections with everything and yes everybody that will start to happen now and in the next month because in two weeks we are off!
