Hi family and friends!

Welcome to my blog! This is the first blog i have ever done so please bare with me as i figure this all out.

I am currently getting ready for my trip to Africa this fall and i am very exited! While you read my posts you will figure out (as my mother knows very well) that i am a horrible speller and my grammar pretty much sucks too. Four years of nursing school as taught me to do away with complete sentences and most other important grammar things.

I have bought my expensive plane ticket just a few weeks ago and would like to thank everyone who has already supported me financially to be able to purchase the ticket. My next step is to get a yellow fever vaccine. I am looking forward to this because i love getting shots and especially love giving them. Not really. I hate giving them and i hate receiving them.

So anyway, i will probably be blogging more often during the months of september through novemeber since at that time i will be on the ship. However i will do my best to update this blog before then.

I am going to end this blog with a great book i just read: The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon by David Grann
