36 days until I leave

I mis-counted. I thought I only had 31 days until I left, but I just re-counted and found out I forgot to count Sundays and I have 36 days. :)

I'm really excited about it...but I'm also extremely nervous. What if I get sick? What if I get lost? What if no one likes me? What if I get really homesick like I did in Nicaragua?

I'm sure that by writing it out, I'll get less nervous. I just have to calm myself and realize that we'll be in developed places where it's not likely that I'll get sick, I'll have my laptop so I can reach home and stay connected, and I'll probably be too busy to think about home as much as I did in Nicaragua.

One of the things that stinks about the timing of the trip is that I'll miss my and Sam's 8th monthiversary. He's missing our 7th. He'll be in Oklahoma at Trials. I'll be racing my car and going to a music recital. Which is really cool, but not as cool as it would be with him.

Me: I'm not random, my mind just moves faster than yours.
Sam: Wait...what?
Me: My mind was moving faster than yours just then.
Sam: No...I'm pretty random too.
Me: You? Random?
Sam: I'm methodically random.

One of the many reasons I love him. Give me a second while I restart my heart...
