Packing...not the Most Fun Thing.

Hello everyone!

I can't type for long because I am flying out in exactly 10 hours for Germany. I have nearly finished packing now. I think that I will finish up the last odds and ends in the morning. I basically just threw most of what I owned into my suitcase and I'll go from there. It's easier when you don't own anything. I like that I have kept my possessions to a minimum, it keeps things very simple. The hardest part was honestly to decide which suit to pack, which to wear on the plane, and which ones to leave behind. Also, I had to decide which shirt/tie combination to wear with it. Initially I was thinking which ones would be the best for during my flight, but then I started thinking that if my luggage gets lost then I will need to wear the same one for possibly a few days. So I went for the black pants (original!), tan suitcoat, wine shirt and matching tie. Should go over just fine, and that coat is tailored really well for me and is nicely vented so it should be comfortable for the extended period of time.

Anyways, I am just killing some time before I go to bed. I am a little wound up with excitement for tomorrow. I'm also beginning to miss everyone here. It was nice seeing so many people tonight and I am so grateful to God for putting each of you in my life. You are truly a blessing. I plan on updating the blog often to keep in touch with you. 6 weeks is not too long and I will be back before I know it, but I will miss you immensely. Not that I will let that affect the time that I am having overseas. That will be great too. But it will be so nice to share it with you all.

So keep reading, and write comments so I know that you're checking it out! I will likely be able to update on Wednesday night.

Peace and blessings,

JZ.
