And Straight on 'Till Morning

I love ya tomorrow! You're only 23 hours away!  That's right, I'm going home. In 23 hours and a swiftly dwindling number of minutes, I will be back in Utah. In less than 72 hours I will be home in Idaho. I am a little sad to be leaving, but I am ecstatic to be going home. Tomorrow morning I'll leave our house for the last time at about 6:45am catch a bus to Belize City, a taxi to the airport, and then get on a plane bound for Atlanta. Then on to Salt Lake City! At 9:01pm I will happily stand back on familiar ground. I can't wait to see all of my family and friends that I've missed so much! Not long now ...

Well, not quite yet, but sooner than I thought originally. I just though I'd let everybody know that I've decided to come home a week early. Instead of coming home on the 24th I'll be coming home on the 17th. This means I get to go home for a couple of days and see my family, attend my mom's sisters reunion (for the first time!), and not be as stressed out as I prepare to start school again on the 29th. I'm sad to be leaving Belize, but I'm also really excited to be home in Idaho and in Provo. I'm also very excited to be starting school again. I got into the accounting program at BYU, and I'll be starting the Junior core this fall. It's going to be a lot of work, but worth every minute.

I don't know whether to end the title with a :) or a :( an ! or a ?. Today is May 4th 2011. Jared got on a plane approximately one hour ago to go back to Salt Lake. In exactly 3 hours and _ minutes I will be on a plane to Salt Lake city then at 1:05 am (yes AM no rest for the wicked?) I will board another plane to Atlanta. From Atlanta I fly to Belize City arriving at 11:11 am (Do I get a wish?). The next four months of my life will be spent there. I'm terrified and excited and terrified, and curious, and terrified, and pumped. Did I mention terrified? Just so y'all (yes I just used that word (?) in a blog post, Jared is getting to my grammar) can keep track I'll include a countdown to when I get home, well back to Salt Lake and Provo, on August 24th.

As all of you know, I'm going to Belize this summer with HELP International. I want to be able to share my experiences with anyone who wants to hear so I need a public blog (this one is private). I've created a new blog that I will be using to document my time in Belize. The site is http://youbetterbelizeit-marin.blogspot.com/   Feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested, post it on facebook, send mass emails... Just kidding, but seriously, anyone who seems interested is welcome to check this blog out. I'll still be posting anything more personal here, but Belize specific events will go on the other blog.
