And I'm off!!

Tomorrow morning at 7am, which means it should still be hovering at about 2 degrees, I'm blowing this popsicle stand and heading south :) I'll be in Miami for a day and a half and then it's on to Paraguay. Can you believe I missed the Super Bowl by 2 days?!?

Of all the emotions I'm feeling (and believe me, there are too many to count) excitement it surely the most overwhelming. It's been over a year since I began the application process and nearly a year since nomination....and now - it's finally here.

I'll be updating you all as often as I can, but bear with me - there might be lulls and novels ahead ;p And I know I've said it before...but let me tell you again - I am extremely lucky to have so many wonderful people in my life. I experience more love in a day than many people have in a lifetime and I am so grateful. Know that I'll be thinking of you and sending you love and happiness in the months and years to come and looking forward to visiting with those of you who can make it down :)

With love and friendship,
Lorien

Bon voyage and safe travels. Don't know when you'll get a chance to see this, but whenever it is know that I'm thinking about you and looking forward to updates in the next volume of Lorien's Grand Adventures. What a time you have ahead of you.
