I'm getting closer and closer to packing up and leaving for OKC! My excitement is constantly getting bigger and bigger. :)
So, thanks to fundraisers and my church I have all the 4000 dollars needed for the tuition. Yay! Now we are working on getting as much of my monthly support as possible before I leave.
Recently we got a email from John Port saying that they have decided our Host Family arrangements and we should be getting a call from them with contact information. I do have to admit I am nervous about which family I will get and what they will be like and their rules. But it doesn't squish my excitement at all. I know God's hand is in all of this and the family I get put with will be the best for me and what I need.
There are just a couple more items I need:
A good backpack (like one that will last through any beating I might give it, not a walmart one)
A pair of work gloves
Space saver bags (The kind you vaccuum the air out so its really thin)
And plastic conatiners to put food and stuff in

Update
Yes, so its been a long time since I have updated this thing. Apparently I'm not good at it :) But I will try to get better.
I'm still raising money to try and reach my goal. I'm not sure what the last count was but I think it was somewhere around 900 more dollars or so.
Recently, to help raise the funds I went to a Microsoft Show with MCOKC's class of 2009. (Who graduated August 3rd, Congrats) And we went to Seattle, Washington. It was amazing and I had a fantastic time. I really did not want to leave. In fact, coming home, I had a hard time adjusting. I just felt so in place with the MCs and when I came home, the familiar feeling of "I don't fit here" came rushing back harder than ever. I'm just so ready to begin my year and move on.
I leave September 18th, to spend the night in OKC. September 19th is a Luncheon where we meet everyone and move into our Host Families houses. Then September 20th is our Induction Day. I'm so beyond excited.
