So before I start this entry I just want to tell yall that I am so excited for you to be a part of this journey with me and I hope this blog will be something that you will enjoy! Now I have never written a blog before, actually I don't think I have even ever had a diary! So as you read...this is probably going to sound a little less formal and more how I talk....but I think that will make it more entertaining for you! So with that:
As I continue to anticipate the day that we are to leave, it seems almost foreign to me that this is going to be a reality soon! It is so exciting, while at the same time kind of scary.
Many of you know that my roomie, Lauren, is going to be heading down to Belize as well for a couple months. Right now we are trying to get ready, thinking of what we need. I mean we have the obvious items....a air mattress, pillow, clothes, ect....but also trying to think of the non conventional items as well. For example, the other day I was thinking it would be a good idea to get 2 of those "5 gallon water jugs" and use one for purified water, but the other one....ready for this? I was thinking that we could get some sort of funnel so that when it is raining outside we can collect rainwater for washing and such. I know your probably thinking, "Yeah Tati." But I was like this is such a good idea! haha I will keep you posted on how that works out!
The plan is as of right now, to leave sometime the middle of January. We are going to meet a friend of mine that I know from Belize. He is going to fly into the States and then we will meet him and follow him back through Mexico. We are as of right now waiting to hear details, and this is just part of the process in trusting! As many of you know me, I am a HUGE planner so this is good, this is good for me!
Also a little update on everything with the Mina Project:
