Pinch me, I'm dreaming.

I can't believe that we are leaving for Liberia tomorrow... Haley Weit and I will be leaving tonight out of LAX and I cannot even begin to explain all of the emotions that I have running through me. I'm nervous, excited, scared, and ready; you name it I feel it.

It has been a dream of mine to go to Africa, for at least 7 years now, and now I actually get to fulfill this dream. If you would have asked me in September what my plans were for the summer, I would have never thought in a million years that Africa would be on the agenda.

Even though in less than 4 hours I will be leaving to go to the airport, it all still feels like a dream. I'm not really going to Liberia; I'm going to wake up from this roller coaster dream soon. I'm sure that is how a lot of us feel. Just like Emily said, I'm going to try and go to Liberia with no expectations whatsoever, but it will most definitely be difficult.

To all of you lovely ladies who I will be sharing this experience of a lifetime with, all I can say is that I cannot imagine going with anyone else. All of you are so awesome and amazing and its been really great getting to know each and every one of you. I know that we are going to have the time of our lives out in Liberia and it is something that we will cherish and remember for the rest of our lives. The day is finally here ladies: We are GOING to Africa.
