PEACE OUT, AMERICA

A little photoshoot my sister Sara and I did a couple days ago. She's brilliant. 

In about 12 hours I will be boarding a plane and be off on my adventures in the U.K for 3 months. I'll be living in London but traveling around to other parts of England with a few excursions as well to Scotland, Italy, and France. And let me tell you people, I'm pretty darn stoked about it. I've known about this trip for about 9 months and man, it's been a long time coming!! I mean of course I had to save money and stuff but I was ready for this ages ago. But, strangely enough, now that it's finally here, it doesn't feel like real life! Me?? Living and going to school in Europe for 3 months?? I never do anything exciting so this is kind of a big deal guys.

For all those wondering I will be going to school through BYU. They have this awesome program where you travel with a group of students and two BYU professors so you're all kind of a little family who sticks together the whole trip. While for some people this might not seem like an "authentic" study abroad experience because I won't be actually going to a British school (I had someone tell me that he thought it was pretty lame because of exactly this reason) this program is pretty much perfect for me and was exactly what I was looking for. For anyone who wants more information about it, you can find it here.

Packing has been crazy. How does one pack everything they need for 3 months in tiny suitcases?? Being a compulsive over-packer is really not helping. Also being obsessed with all of my clothes is really REALLY not helping. I love my clothes way to much guys, it's kind of a problem. Anyways, I digress.

So, for the next 3 months I'll be posting all my adventures here on this little blog. I hope to post as much as possible, hopefully at least once a week! The next two weeks will be a bit spotty on the posting as we'll be traveling around Italy and France and I'm not sure how often I'll have WiFi, but hey, we shall see how things go. Love you all, and see you in December!

P.S. If you'd like me to send you a postcard while I'm gone, shoot me an email and I'll be sure to do it for ya! (You can find my email address in the "connect" section on the sidebar). Also, make sure to follow me by clicking "Join this site" on the side bar as well!
