The Brave do not live forever...but the cautious do not live at all.

The title quote comes from the movie the Princess Diaries. It describes how I feel about the choices I have made about going to nursing school this fall and about going to Korea. Earlier in my life I would not have dared make the leap to do either of these things. Especially going to Korea without Mike. When we went as a family, he did all the leg-work for us! I think I have lived a very cautious life. Mid-life crisis' can change you!

Well, I am sitting in the Hilton of the Americas in Houston, Texas (Mike's here for a conference and I am tagging along!) Mike suggested that I start a blog about my going to Korea this summer. I am not sure who is going to read it but I love to write so here goes!!

The day we left for Texas I got a call from Pat, my roommate while we are in Korea and that just truly made it real for me. I am so excited to be a part of the staff of this organization.
The tour truly changed how I looked at the whole adoption triad, especially for international adoptees, and I want to be able to share and help other families as they experience Korea for the first time.

I am not going to be a bus leader, but rather am going to be more of an assistant to Becca (the director) and Pat (the Program Manager). I hope that I can do that job up to their expectations. I am getting so excited for this!
