5 days til departure

sometimes i get sad when people don't realize they control their own lives and happiness. if you don't like a certain aspect of your life, change it! you can do it! it's not the easiest thing to do, but it certainly will not happen if you just sit around complaining.

pursuit of happiness.

i'm loving this song.

i dont agree with drinking and driving though!

17 days til departure.

Today is my first Monday not at work. What a lovely feeling! I leave for Frankfurt August 4th. All so surreal. Just getting things cleaned up around the house & preparing for the trip. Going to purchase some gadgets to make staying connected a little easier. I have little idea what I am getting myself into, which makes the adventure all the more exciting!
