I'm going to Haiti

Well, I think I have this blogging down pat...maybe.  The idea behind this blogging thing will be so friends and family can follow along my thoughts, sights, sounds, and my adventure as I get ready for my trip to Haiti.   
I am so excited that is a for sure thing now. My final decision maker was still trying to make up his mind if he wanted his prize posession to be traveling to a third world country without him.  But being a supportive and loving husband he finally told me that he is supporting me through this.    I have wanted to do something like this for a long time.  I sometimes feel as though we go through our lives with little direction.  I work, get a paycheck (I dont even see the paycheck, money just gets deposited into my account) for what?  STUFF.  Dont get me wrong, I love STUFF.  But I think there is so much more out there.  Maybe I wont like what I see in Haiti, but I think I will appreciate what I have here alot more.  I want to show my kids, that if you have a passion for soemthing that nothing should stop you from doing it.  I am scared and nervous to go -  maybe scared is not the right word.  Just the fear of the unknown. 

Next task to accomplish - getting my shots!!!
