I'm dancing on the inside.

I can't believe it, it's ok if you don't. I finally arrived. No problems, kind of a tall guy sitting next to me on the long ride over and he kept elbowing me in the ribs. Only three crying children! On the short flight from Dublin to Vienna I had a plush exit row seat with the seat next to me empty. It was heavenly. There is something about the take off of a plane that if I'm a little bit sleepy I'm out like a light. I fell asleep both take offs and slept for over an hour. Good for the second flight because it was only 2 and half hours long. Bad for the first one because it was 7 and a half hours long.

I walked around like a zombie Monday but refused to go to sleep. Went and got groceries for the week (not by myself of course, are you crazy, I can barely make it from the church to my apartment and they are connected to each other). Slept like the dead the first night, helped out with stuff all day yesterday. Last night I barely slept at all then I helped out with stuff all day today and went to this mall thing and got dinner and icecream, again not by myself because of the above mentioned problems. Tomorrow it is grocery shopping and getting things ready at the retreat center for kid's camp. Friday I don't know what I'll be doing yet, not Saturday either. Sunday I know I have to be at church by 8:30 (or maybe it was 8, I should probably check that) until 2:30 and then I head back up to the retreat center with the American team that is helping out as counselors. The kids arrive Monday.



I won't have email at camp so there won't be any other blogs for a little over a week.



I do have a desk though in the office and I will be getting some sort of computer eventually. I don't have keys yet either, which makes leaving the apartment by myself a bit difficult.

Yeah!

I fly out Sunday the 24th arriving Monday the 25th (my older sister's birthday)!

WOOPS!

It's been awhile since I posted anything new, not because I've been Oh-So busy but because I update my MySpace and forget to update this one.

Well, since I last posted I received an email saying the missionary I'll be working with would try and get my budget decreased. This has finally(!) happened after a week and a half between him and World Missions. They finally got everything squared away and in the proper columns and I should have my approval by Tuesday at the latest. I will then buy my plane ticket, hopefully for sometime next week, although that may be too quick, I need to discuss with my missionary before I make the purchase.

So hopefully I'll be posting in just a couple days about when I'll be leaving and then after that it will be about my first experience of Vienna!

I'm excited!
