I started a blog because I'm leaving the country and my only follower, Erika, said I needed a blog. I'm ordinarily not that impressible--oh wait, yes I am. I just do what people want me to do. I usually feel that it doesn't matter what I want. Until now. I have decided I hate winter, I like very few people these days anyway, I don't have a job or anyone tying me down so I am leaving. I am heading to the lovely isle of Jamaica for a month. I'm actually going to do it, I'm going far away and for a long time, all by myself. I think it's going to be good. I need to prove it to myself that I can do something like this and I have to figure out my life independent of anyone else. I'm sure I'll typically write about how much I don't like the food, but that is going to be good for me too because I am a high maintenance girl and I don't usually tolerate things that aren't just the way I like them very well...but I need to learn how.
The next few days are going to be crazy, I have a bunch of last minute things to do for a weekend retreat that I am coordinating for children at our church. I have to make it through that weekend and be ready to leave the country at 5:30 am the next morning. I will be sure to let you all know how it goes, the retreat, the leaving (another of my not-so-favorite things) and then of course from Jamaica!
