So it Begins...

Hello friends! Well, it is official, I bought my tickets yesterday. Looks like I will be in Cape Town, South Africa from February 16th to October 29th! EEEKKKK I am so excited! I am in the process of finding an apartment and getting all the visa requirements done but in the meantime let me introduce you to my dear friend, Shelby Dunlap, who has agreed to embark on this adventure with me. How we became friends is actually kind of interesting. Shelby and I lived across the hall from each other at ACU our freshmen year and never said a single word to each other. Then, sophomore year we found ourselves living together in Oxford, England. It took a little while for us to become great friends but once we traveling to Greece together it was permanent; we were going to be great friends! We continued to be friends through the rest of school. After I graduated in May 2011 I went to see her in Abilene and told her that I was in search of a partner for my next adventure to anywhere. It turns out that the Lord has a plan for her to be that partner. So, here we are now moving to Cape Town, South Africa for the next 9 months of our lives! I am so excited to see where the Lord takes us and what he has in store for 2012. Seems to me that the year is starting off pretty wonderfully! :)
