Sorry...it's been a while, I know.

I hate looking back at a blog that I thought was so great while I was writing it, and thinking, "what awful grammar!" It just negates any adjective I was aiming for.

I can't believe I am on my last chapter visit. Forever? Who knows....for now.

I will miss the travel - I will go stir crazy the first month, no matter how busy we are at the colony, because for the past five months I have been on the go at least every 10 days. Usually once a week I'm getting on a plane - even over the winter break. I spent 7 days in China, that's the longest I stayed put during those three weeks "off".

I am excited, nervous, apprehensive, anxious, curious (and that's as many adjectives I feel like coming up with right now with my limited vocabulary) about moving to Delaware. I feel honored to be the LC on the ground. I am proud of and confident in the team of people working together to make our colonization efforts a success.

I am afraid of failure. Who isn't?

Memories I will take with me from the road... Some, I may not care to elaborate on, but you're welcome to try.
  1. Chapter members inquiring about my "habits" when they think I can't hear them
  2. Strange sounds coming from upstairs.
  3. Carl and the obnoxious "friend" occupying the corner of the living room
  4. NYC
  5. Days off in Vermont with Rick and Julie
  6. Steak'n'Shake and our waiter, Jared, and Jackie's shoe, and being at BA in general
  7. My "view" from my bed at a school I won't mention
  8. Magazine surprise!
  9. Pizza with Miss Charnock
  10. Late nights during recruitment visits
  11. Late nights during any visit
  12. I will definitely miss the elaborate stories sisters come up with
  13. Vomiting toenail polish!

I definitely think we should write a book - but might want to check to see if that violates our media policy. Hmmmm. I'll stick to scrap booking. I hope my LC sisters will continue to share their stories with me once I've stopped traveling - I know they will, and I know I will continue to have adventures to share.



I'm excited to start a new chapter.....literally and figuratively!
