First post

Hello family and friends. I am starting a blog! I have never done anything quite like this before but it really appeals to me. As many of you all know, me and this guy <-- are heading off to Hawaii. We're going there to work on a farm for the summer ( so maybe it's dumb and lame that I'm only writing a blog for what some may say is a short trip but I kinda like the idea of also continuing it post this trip..these are exciting times in my life.) We'll be there from May 25th to August 5th.

In Hawaii, we will be working approx about 25/hours a week in exchange for a shack. I think we will also be receiving some food and access to all the tropical fruit we want. Yum-o. So, here I am. About to REALLY embark on something new and foreign. It's scary. It's thrilling. It's surreal. It's crazy. It's gonna be AWESOME and I really am working myself up a whole lot more than I have to but that's kinda the fun part. I didn't go away for school last fall and I have been home this whole year until now. This is my first big step. I'm ready. I'm also feeling incredibly estatic and happy that I get to share this experience with Ben because I love him very much. Hi Ben :).

I'm writing this blog just to help remind me that life is amazing and I'm doing amazing things. Life is exciting and I'm loving every minute of it. I want to remember this time of my life because as of right..I really just can't complain about much.

Anyways, this is my first post. The last night in my bed for awhile. I will be posting when I can and will be writing letters to all you lovely people when I can't blog. I will post my address in Hawaii as soon as I know it. I love you all and thanks for reading my blog..? That sounds nerdy.

Namaste.
