Going, Going, Gone!

Happy Birthday, America! 233 years can feel like quite a long time, eh?

So, being he patriot that I am, today is the day I'm leaving for Europe! The books have been bought, the bags are packed, the camera charged, and I'm pretty sure I have everything I need, so it's time to fly!

I'll be first flying in to Minneapolis where I'll be meeting up with friends Kelley and Paige. After about an 8 hour layover there, we'll finally be on our way out! Then it'll be Paris first (July 5-8), followed by London with them (July 9-10), and from there I'll be going to Oxford for my program to start.

Although I've been out of the country before, it's never been this long, so I have to admit I'm kinda nervous/excited. I know I'm going to get a bit homesick for a couple of things. So here's a list of things that I'm a gonna to miss...

Baking (I've made 1 batch of cookies, 1 batch brownies, and 6 pies)

So You Think You Can Dance

Movies from the Library

Sonic Happy Hour, specifically Strawberry Limeades

Tim Horton's Iced Capps

Driving (surprised?)

Playing with Hunter

and of course

Mis padres

Now, I don't exactly know what kind of internet I'll have when I'm in Paris and London, so I probably won't be blogging or emailing much until I get to Oxford. I set up a photo sharing account with Shutterfly. So now it'll be easy to see all of the photos I'll be taking, which has a tendency to be a lot, another thing which I picked up from my dad. To make it easy to find, it's the same name as the blog.

So everybody, have an awesome holiday, wish I could be there with ya! Have fun eating your hotdogs, drinking your lemonades, and watching the fireworks!

Well I guess I'll be catching you in Europe!

Keep Followin'!
