Let the adventure begin....

I got picked up today at 12:30 to start my adventure of a lifetime! I must say I am both nervous and excited! It was really hard to say goodbye to Austin today. I am not looking forward to making my last few calls to my Mom and Austin tonight before my plane takes off. I am sure many tears will be shed...I know this is a great opportunity but a girl can still miss her family and boyfriend. I ran around all morning trying to get ready and packing more. After Austin weighed my bag several times and me frantically taking crap out its now 40 lbs...so I just have to loose some stuff so I can have less than 50 or 50 on the way back. When we got here 2 of the boys and I were hungry because we all forgot to eat lunch so we enjoyed Qudoba. Our plan got delayed by 45 minutes so we are currently waiting in the airport in Indy. Good news I did not forget my passport and I am waiting at the gate...so I passed security! Yeah only I must say they are pretty hardcore...way more than I remember! I also don't remember Indianapolis airport being so nice either...I texted both of my parents because I really think we have not flown out of here for awhile (well I have not been on a plane since Switzerland I think so that's like 5 or 6 years). I keep thinking I know where things are but it must be in Chicago where we typically leave from. I think this is an interesting group to say the least and I think they will provide many stories for you all...
