It's been a busy 4 weeks- totaling a car (stupid coyote), moving from Nashville back to Michigan, sorting through years of accumulated academic paraphernalia, celebrating matrimony, and raising money for the trip. At the same time, I've been getting to know my future coworkers better as we email back and forth regarding flight plans, recommendations about packing lists, and determining who is bringing which books and DVDs. Judging by their taste in books and films, it looks like we'll have a great group of PDs.
As fast as the past month has gone, I know the next couple of weeks in the states will go even faster. I have a nervous excitement about the trip. I am eager to get started with this experience, yet there are a number of things that have to get done before I can go- things like getting a physical, going to the dentist, gathering the necessary documents for a visa, and packing. Pretty soon, July 7 will arrive and I'll be off to Miami to meet everybody.
I want to extend thanks to McFadden's of Nashville, Marcie Allen & MAC Presents, Rick & Jenny Routson, Karl & Doris Gabrys, Karen Gabrys, Russell & Barbara Jones, Joe & Susan Rizzi, Scott & Cynthia Wirgau, Chuck & Sue Bares, Chuck Lowe, Kyle Southern, and Drs. Bares & Routson for their financial support. I also want to thank those of you who have been keeping me in your thoughts and prayers; I appreciate them, as does my mother.
