My first official post

Hey everyone!

Think that I am starting to figure out this whole blogging thing.  I am coming up to 2 months before my trip and have raised a lot of money thanks to all the care and generosity of friends and family.  This is the first time I have ever done a trip like this, and to be truthful, I am a little nervous.  Not knowing what to expect, how it all works or what challenges I am going to be faced with sends butterflies swarming around in my stomach.  But like anything else in life that is worthwhile...it's the start of a new adventure.  I am looking forward to provided care to so many that really need it.  Here's to the first of many posts!
