The countdown

So it is official, in less than 24 hours I will be on my LONG (11 1/2 hours to be exact) flight to Madrid! I have never been in a car for that amount of time, much less on a plane! However, I was really excited to find out that I at least have a window seat so that should make the trip a little more bearable. I am excited to keep this blog to let everyone know what all I am doing, as well as to give everyone a little insight on my thoughts about my experiences. I will try to keep this updated as best I can, as well as provide lots of pictures. I know you all do not want to read paragraphs upon paragraphs of me writing, besides pictures are more fun to look at anyways!
I am all packed up and ready to go, miraculously I was able to fit over 3 months worth of clothes into two, thats right- just two suitcases!! If any of you know my dad you can just picture him standing over me, and I am not exaggerating he literally has told me this about 15 times "all you need is a pair of shoes and two sets of clothes and underwear" blah blah..... I repeatedly tell him just to go away, I am doing pretty dang well to get everything into two suitcases (of course I would rather bring like 10).
I am anxious to leave although I am starting to get nervous, it is out of my comfort zone to go off and do something like this on my own- but I am so excited, I can only hope this is only the beginning of my traveling adventures. I am really going to miss my family and friends, but especially my dogs!
Hopefully everything goes smoothly tomorrow, can't wait to meet my new family!! Will update more when I arrive !(which I'm sure will be a lot more interesting then this post, I promise!)

If only I could fit my puppies in with me :)
Of course I would physically pick them up and put them in the suitcase to take these pictures- clearly they loved it ;)
