Pressure Cooker

I am starting to freak about this major trip that I am going to take next summer.
I am not like ohmigod I don't wanna do this, more like a WOW I am going to do this.
This will be my first long journey into the unknown. I have to say I am way excited about this. I know that this is going to be something that I continue to do, this is just a starting point.
Now that I have gotten a little bit of that out.
I have been starting to check out websites and looking into what kind of pack I would like to use. I am basically going to be carrying a week and a halfs worth of clothes around for about a month and a half. Seems a little daunting but the adernaline is starting to kick in.
I am starting an exercise program so that I can get into shape for this adventure.
So if I start calling people out of the blue, it is b/c I am getting nervous about all of this.
My mantra is: "This is my dream and I can do it!!"
I need to be saying that to myself for the next year and get geared up for it. I know that I am getting going early, but this is something I need to have a little planning done for. On another note...I would like to give a shout out to my friend Heat who got married this past weekend. Once I find the cord to my camera I will have pictures up here on my blog. I got some really great pics and it was a lovely ceremony and a super fab party. I hope that everyone has as much fun when I get married.
She was a lovely bride...I knew she would be.
So CONGRATS to you and Henrique...Love you both!!!!!

So as I close this out..I everyone to know that they are important to me and are a big part of my life.

For I
Prophesy
That the night
Will be bright
With the gold
Of old
In the inn
Within
