"So are you excited?"
An excellent question, but hard for me to find an answer.
I'm content, I'm satisfied, I'm ready.
But, not necessarily excited.
Don't get me wrong. I can't wait. With all of the papers to sign, luggage to pack, last minute things to do, and trips to Wal-mart and CVS, there are also constant reminders of what I'm leaving and what I'm going towards. From mom's spaghetti to sancocho. From my hard-as-a-rock bed to, well, rock. From ICP, CMEA, to who knows?
It makes me laugh, sigh, dream, and shake my head at the same time. It makes me take time to savor each hug, good wish, each day.
I got an unexpected chance to sit down with the old folks on Saturday. They said that my life has been a blessing. I'll hope you'll ride along with me to see where it takes me...

I'll be first, just because this was my idea. Have a safe journey and stay in touch. You are going to have a fabulous adventure.

A blog is a great idea! It makes so much more sense than those big, group e-mails. And of course it reminds me of Dr. Jeff's mantra as we sat around the airport at Dulles... :-)
