I haven’t posted in so long. I need to get better at this. 
I want to get better at this. My life is slowly coming back together and I’m sure that as it does I will find the time to post more often.
I leave in just 3 days for Germany to spend 17 days with my sister and her family. I’m going to get to see Europe! I never really thought that I would have this opportunity and so just relegated it to the Dreams category in my mind. Thanks to my unbelievably generous in-laws, I have a ticket and leave on Tuesday. I’m so full of conflicting emotions. I’m excited and then I feel guilty for being so excited. I have never been away from my family for this long and it scares me. And then, at the same time, I’m looking forward to having some time off. But I also know that I’m going to miss them in the worst way. And on and on it goes. Right now, the primary emotion is anticipation. I’ve started packing my bag (no checked luggage for me) and figuring out how I’m going to occupy many hours in airports. I’m taking books, of course.
I’m going to try to post as I’m over there, and post pictures and stuff. Don’t hold your breath though because I’m still not very good at remembering to do this.
