Life is either one great adventure - or nothing at all. Helen Keller

She would know, wouldn't she?

Tomorrow, I embark on my own adventure of sorts. Probably to others, a trip to Berwyn, IL for SHIMMER Women Athletes over the weekend and then to Las Vegas for a week would be nothing to sweat. But this will be the longest trip I've ever taken on my own, away from my home, in the company of friends and boyfriend. Away from my parents (aside from having dinner with them in Vegas next week), away from my home.

It's a bit nerve racking. Mostly little things (getting my luggage at the airport, finding my Brits, having enough clothes and having clothes to fit the different weather, not misplacing anything or forgetting to pack something, not having enough cash), but I also just want everything to go as smoothly as possible. No fights, no friction, no disappointments - I want to really connect with my friends and with Lee. I want to have fun, enjoy new experiences, try new food, and just be open to anything new that comes along. This is my chance to spread my wings.

Because when you fall, you fly. And I want to soar. I want to experience everything possible. I'm so ready for this trip!...Now I've just got to get up the nerve to get on the plane. I hate flying! But for this? It'll be worth it!
