Well the adventure begins…Starting this blog seemed like such a great idea when it was a theory but now that I must sit down and begin typing I am getting nervous. Keeping a personal journal or even sending emails home is one thing but to have public entries available for anyone and everyone makes me pause.

These first few entries will be rough but I am sure in time they will begin to flow and the wrinkles will smooth themselves out. One such wrinkle has already been smoothed, I have found the spell check, hip-hip-hooray! Yes, I know I am off to China to teach English but lets face it I will always have my Dad’s spelling genes which means I spell Dictionary…MOM.
