I sit here, in the same chair where I last wrote a post on the lovely years, what seems like ages ago.  At this time last year, I was embarking on a journey that took me nowhere and everywhere, too.  It took me into an in-between-place, a place between childhood and adulthood. I had decided take a semester off. And then, in December, I decided to take another semester yet.  And now, August 2010, I choose to take yet another, third semester off.  What will I do with my life?

I have no idea.

Who am I?

I have a vague idea. I know who I want to be, I know who I was, but I'm not 100% sure I know who I am. However, I'm not 100% sure anyone ever knows exactly who they are. Perhaps I just am.

Well folks, I want to figure it out!

I'm moving to Germany.

I don't have an exact depature date yet.

But then, I don't have a return date either!

This is the tentative plan, for now:

Leave Arkansas (I'm thinking mid September). Travel halfway across the world. Join Bryn and Carolyn in a little village outside of Stuttgart. Get a job on the American Military base in Stuttgart. Begin to learn German. Practice French, in France. Traipse around Europe with Bryn. I'm talking hostels, backpacks, and trains here! Oh, and I'd like to...

find myself

because truthfully, I'm a little lost.

And I can't think of anywhere else I might likely be, other than Europe.

So pray for me.
Send light and love my way when you think of me.
And read my blog, if you'd like to know more about my adventures in the wild wide world.
