Hello everyone!!

I can't believe it!! In 3 short days I am going to be living on a boat for 4 months traveling the world! it doesnt seem real...but hooooolly am i excited!!!!!

If you saw the status of my packing, you would die-- or maybe you wouldn't bc it's preeettttyy typical for the petersons. It's turned in to quite the messy process and has consumed the lives of my lovely parents for the past 3 days, but I actually think I am going to fit everything I need and more into my 2 bags!

It all starts on Tuesday morning when my parents and I fly to Nova Scotia, which is where the ship is departing from. Then we are going to hang there until Thursday morning when the ship sails! I'm a wee bit nervous about getting sea sick (knowing me ill vom within an hr of being on the boat) but I have plenty of bonine packed sooo hopefully that will suffice until I grow my sea legs!

I am so so so excited and soooooo extremely thankful to be able to experience this once in a lifetime trip and cant waaait for all the memories. I love you all and I will be back to the good ole US of A on December 7th, so mark your calenders!

Please pray for safe travels!
