Preparations

I'm leaving for Chile in less than two weeks. I figured a blog would be the easiest way to keep everyone updated on my trip. There are so many things that need to be done before I leave, it doesn't seem like there's enough time! I'm going to miss everyone so much. Make sure you keep in touch and let me know what's going on in the states! I will be living in Valparaiso, Chile, which is right on the coast, not far from Santiago. I've seen pictures and it looks beautiful! I'm excited but pretty nervous about not knowing anyone there, and adjusting to a completely different dialect of Spanish. I hope my skills are all still there! Love you all and we'll be in touch!
