3 Days Left

I am leaving Monday January 7th for Washington D.C. That gives me three days to pack( I still need to buy a backpack), finish tying up loose ends with the attorney, say goodbye to friends and family, eat all the food that I know I'm not going to get for awhile and do I'm sure some things that I can recall right now. I procrastinate. My motto is why do today what you can put off until tomorrow. Not a great motto I know but it's who I am and I've decided to embrace it. Things usually have a way of working and I hope this works out as well. I've decided that I'm not really going to pack like I'm going away for 2 years. The truth is I'm leaving the US for 2 years but they have stores, malls, drug stores, supermarkets in Nicaragua. I'm only going to take things that I may not be able to get there and personal things. I'm taking my baseball glove because baseball is a big sport in Nicaragua and I love to play baseball. I'm hoping I can work that into one of my youth group activities somehow. We'll see.
I spent Christmas in Salt Lake City with my sister, Katie, and her family. They have lived in Salt Lake for a few years now and really like it. My Dad and I flew out the 21st and came back on the 28th. My sister Janna and her family were already out there and we had a great time. We went snowmobiling and snowboarding and enjoyed the snow. It's really pretty out there put I couldn't live there. The snow and ice get to be a little much after awhile. The Friday we flew into Atlanta the temperature was 68 degrees and humid. That's my kind of Christmas.
