Ready,

So I am getting ready to head off on my new adventure, and I wasn't sure when the proper time to begin posting in this would be. I can start before I get there, right?

Yesterday I sent down 2 boxes of my stuff. There is a group that flies packages for missionaries and I've signed up with them via my school to get my mail. So there's an address in Florida that all my mail goes to, and then in theory it should come to me. If for whatever reason you need this address, let me know!

Regarding phone usage and text messages, I don't know whether I will have a cell phone down there or not. Verizon told me mine would work down there, but it will be $1.99/minute, which is out of control. I can technically send and receive text messages, but those are $ .20 each, so I'll want to keep those to a minimum. I did find a great application on my iPod touch that allows me to send and receive text messages, so I'll probably be utilizing that.

I am supposed to have internet in my school and house, so I plan to be Skyping regularly! We'll see how that works out...

That's all for now, I guess! Maybe as I get antsier I'll wrote some more...
