And I'm off...

After a crazy flight down to Seattle filled with everything from medical emergencies on the plane (not me) to missing rental cars, I'm officially done with step one of my trip. What concerns me most is that this was suppossed to be the easiest part! :) I will be in Washington and Portland for the next week and then I'll head down to L.A. where the real work of training begins. The whole experience still feels a little surreal, but that's probably a good thing because in the off moments when it does sink in, I'm an emotional wreck, no surprise to the people who have been around me for the past few months I'm sure! By the way, I have so many thank you's, but since this isn't the academy awards or anything I'll keep it simple. To everyone that has been praying or has given money or has been my roommate or my knight in shining armour the past few weeks I just want to tell you that I am totally blessed to have people like you in my life, and I'm fully aware of what a special gift that is. Just one last thing, for those of you who don't know I switched my e-mail account so it is now Markley_Sarah@yahoo.com feel free to drop me a line anytime!
