On My Way

Carry On

So the week leading up to this day was pretty much what should have been expected. I think I often hope I am going to better then I do when it comes to things like this.. but I never really do. What I mean by “things like this” is transition periods of my life. Things I have been looking forward to, putting a great deal of preparation into, and just in general getting excited about.,I tend to mess them up a bit by trying to pack in way too much, become super stressed, and turn into somewhat of a crazy person. I have been very blessed to have some wonderful understanding friends and family to help me get through it.

Now here I am. SO CRAZY. I mean I have been trying to make this happen since September and it's so hard to believe it's really here. Several times on the plane I was so overwhelmed with me even being on the plane, it felt so unreal, the thought that I was on my way to Ireland. I have so many people to thank for helping me get here today, Jenny, Catherine, Lynne, Donna, my friends, my family... so many people that support me and helped to make this trip come together.

Very Important

As of right now I am sitting in the Toronto airport waiting for my next flight to Dublin. Since I have yet to leave Canada, it is all still a little dreamlike but I know I'm on my way.

I'm not sure what the plan for this blog is other then to try and share some of my experiences through-out this trip and give me a way of reflecting back on the everything that happens throughout. I am not going to put any boundaries or expectations on myself at this point to how often or what I am going to write about as I kinda want it to be created as the experience happens. Anyways, had some time and thought I would share some thoughts and 'thank you's from the first steps of the trip.

So excited for what lays ahead.
