The first day

So I woke up at 7 this morning. It's 10:45 am right now in Taiwan. So far I've been unpacking my stuff and walking around the neighborhood. My uncle took me to the supermarket to buy some fruit juice. It's fun! There are different levels so the esecaltors are flat so that you can push a shopping cart on them. I thought it was kinda neat. hehe. simple things amazing me. Well, I'm off shopping with my cousin. She's going to take me to buy a camera and cellphone so hopefully I will have pictures soon.

Taiwan!!

I've had it to Taiwan. After a 4 hour flight from STL to LAX. A 5 hour layover, then a 12 hour flight to Taiwan. I've finally made it. My camera was really burry so I'll have to get pics from Ebony about the flight. It's burning up here. It feels like camp so hopefully I'll get used to it soon. Love ya lots!

Only 11 hours away...

  All these years of dreaming and it's almost here. I'm rushing around printing last minutes photos and packing! I'm always procrastinating. >_< Other than everything being slightly crazy, it's been a good day. I was able to see Steve Leary and the Grubers before I left. Karen and Claire came over to see me. We took some pictures for me to put in my Taiwan room. There are a couple of them underneath this.

Only a few days away..

        Wow!  I'm leaving on Thursday.  Time has flown by so quick.   I didn't really think I would feel that homesick, but I visited camp the other day.   I don't wanna miss out on a whole summer at Dayspring.  I went to the end of staff training and it seems like their is going to be a whole new fresh group of staff/counselors.  I'm really excited for the upcoming camps.  Talking about camps, me and Hannah have some awesome ideas of a girl's week or weekend camp.  Maybe we should try to direct when I get back.  :p  How crazy would that be?  I'll definately be thinking about camp every night before I fall asleep.  I'm praying and thinking about you guys.  

       I've got most of my things ready.  I only need to buy a couple more pants, then I'm all packed.  I just need to figure out what I want on my carry on.  Tomorrow, I'm having lunch with Cathy then babysitting Peter.  Wednessday, I'm going to spend time with my family, mow the yard, and help clean the gutters.  Then, Thursday at 9:05 I'll be boarding my plane for LAX.   I have around a five hour layover so I'll probably be calling some of you guys to chat.  :)  
     Taiwan! It's finally happening :).  I'm so excited, but kinda nervous/scared.  I'm not sure what to expect.  I'm kinda curious about how it's going to change me.  Well, I'm going to bed soon.   Good night!
