2 Suitcases for 3 Months? Really??

Well, I'm all packed up. I think...
I tried my hardest to fit enough to get me through the next 11 weeks of my life.

Here are a few random highlights:
1. Truly knee length shorts (fresh from the boys section at Target!)
2. Starbucks Pike Place Roast, Biggby Michigan Cherry coffee, and travel mug
3. The Collected Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald (my summer reading)
4. T-shirts, t-shirts, and more t-shirts!

Here's what I'm not packing:
1. Blow dryer
2. Straightener
3. Eye liner
4. my "normal, cute" clothes
5. iPod and laptop

As I've been packing, I've realized that I have a lot of "stuff"- like choosing from 20 T shirts, multiple jackets, shirts, books, etc. I'm leaving a full closet and dresser, and am taking enough to last me the whole summer! Wow- I'm thankful to be so blessed, but its quite a learning experience to realize what I really need, too! I'm looking forward to being "low maintenance"...or maybe just "lower maintenance"....

I leave tomorrow for training in Denver. This will be my second time flying commerically, and the first time by myself! In Denver, I'll get to meet the other workers for the whole Western Region, and also spend time with the four members on my team, too! And did I mention that I've never met a single one of these people before?

Pray for:
-Safety as we fly in to Denver and then drive to SD
-that our Rosebud team will have great bonding experiences so we can work well together
- that training will be an awesome an reassuring time of preparation!

Thank you!!!
