Molly's first post... of many

Thanks Jessica for setting up such a user-friendly blogspot for us. I'm excited to document our pre-trip journey.

I spent today working on my electronic presentation for our meeting next Saturday. I have been sifting through electronic files of digital pictures (boy do I wish those were more organized). I have also taken this opportunity to do complete my Education and Language report on El Salvador. My presentation is coming along well... but as I keep reviewing it, I keep seeing things I want to change/add. I'm excited to show it to the rest of the group to get their feedback and suggestions.

While this is a lot of work, rest assured I've made some time to do some fun pre-trip activities.... can you guess what it is? SHOPPING!!!! I keep telling my husband Kevin that I have to plan ahead... he thinks it just another excuse to stimulate the economy. I've purchased some nice travel wear that will be cool in the warm climates, wrinkle resistant, and hopefully will still look nice after being schlepped all over Central America.

Speaking of my husband... Kevin and I have both been working a lot lately. While we see each other daily, I found myself missing him this week, as we saw eachother only in passing. Perhaps this is yet another method of preparation for this journey. I know I'll miss him more than I realize, but at least it will be for such a good reason.

I always look forward to our group meetings, as it gives us an opportunity to learn more about each other. I know we'll be leaning on each other a lot for support during our trip, so learning more about one another and our likes/dis-likes will make this much more fun.

I suppose I'll sign off... and save more for later!
