Preparations...

So, here I am sitting in my kitchen at home looking at the 4 inches of snow on the ground, thinking, "Next week at this time I will be in Costa Rica, sweating instead of shivering." What a crazy idea...I started this blog to record what's going on while I'm in Costa Rica, and as a means of communication with all of my family and friends still in the U.S. So I will try to update often, but I can't promise anything, because, well, this is the first time I have ever done anything like this. So, we'll see how it goes. :) I love you all!
