Crazy Days

I officially leave for Spain TOMORROW! And then the next few days are going to be one crazy adventure. Here’s a look at my schedule for the next few months…

1 day: Leave for Spain (Leaving Pella at 9:00 a.m. I’ll get to Chicago before 3:00 p.m. and leave for Madrid at 6:30 p.m. We arrive in Madrid at 9:30 a.m. and then take a 1:00 p.m. train to Sevilla. I will finally arrive in my new hometown at 3:30 pm. where I will meet my host family and do a little exploring).

3 days: Start orientation

5 days: Start classes

35 days: My parents arrive in Spain

64 days: John gets to Spain

104 days: Leave Spain to come home. Fly into Sioux Falls.

110 days: Graduate from college

132 days: Get married

133 days: Leave for honeymoon

140 days: I can’t wait to see what adventures come next!

Some of my friends make fun of me for planning ahead, and as you can tell, I probably deserve it. But with so many new things coming up in the next few months, it’s hard not to plan and be EXCITED about all of them! :) My schedule might sound crazy to some, and it probably is, but I see it as a blessing from God. It’s hard to believe He has given me so many amazing opportunities in only 5 months. I can’t wait to see what He all has waiting for me in Spain.

I won’t take my phone with me to Spain, but they will give me one when I get there. I’m guessing it costs quite a bit to call overseas, so I think the best way to talk is through e-mails (jnvnzntn@dordt.edu), facebook, skype, and letters. If you want a pen pal from Spain, here’s my address:
