* and more wonderful information
Happy Year all!!! I am so very exicted for 2008 and all its possibilties!! Damn thats optimisitc...
Much has happened in the past month and half since I last updated the good ole blog and I am counting the days down to take off....33 days and counting!!
Christmas was wonderful with my family, if more untraditional than other years. But keeping to tradition, there was some family feuding. I recieved many goods for my trip including a steripen, clothing, trail shoes, solar battery charger, awesome pots and pans (made for camping so very light and easy to pack) and other such objects. New Years was wonderful; a dream was finally realized after four years: I was able to spend time in Kansas with Mar's family!!! Gates was muy delicioso, Jew Panther the cat (JP) was a favorite of mine, as was Coco's face, of course. But Little P is always #1 (right behind Lucky and Fridita).
Now I am home back in Cheyenne and preparing myself for a difficult month of goodbye's. Sarah takes off in ONE WEEK to PERU for six months, so I am cramming in some serious sister time. Jonathan leaves next, January 28th to Maryland and then who knows where to!!
I am presently spending my time freaking out, making lists, calling PC people, comparing my lists to others, freaking out again, and trying to spend time with as many people as I possibly can. I am currently working on giving my mom power of attorney, developing pictures, packing, buying shit to pack, getting $ in order for overseas, and other small/annoying projects.
Today I also recieved my travel plans from the PC...staging in Philly for 2 days, plane trip for 2 days, pit stop in Brussels, another in Burundi, and then to Entebbe, Uganda...What can I say? That's the jet set life. If interested, there's a link to my crazy packing list on the side. But please, no more suggestions on what I should bring, I would rather prefer for people to tell me what NOT to take.
Here's to feeling good,
Best to all

Don't take clothes i hear you won't need it there. I have heard this from many family members that live in 3rd world countries.
