i leave for Turkey in 17 days, and i'm starting to get excited. this will be a lot of first for me - my first mission trip, my first plane ride, my first visit to another country, and my first experience living w/jon-thom for a week. i'm not sure which one will be the hardest. i've started to pick up some supplies, and i'm thinking about which bible-hero story i'll tell the kids when it's my turn to teach. i'm also looking forward to walking around in ephesus while we're there. this is going to be lots of fun.

i get married in 138 days, and i'm pretty excited about that! of course, anybody who knows me knows that will be a handful of firsts as well, including my first trip to disney!! i think i'm going to enjoy living w/my wife a lot more than i'll enjoy sharing a hotel in turkey w/jon (even though the one in turkey is a 4-star).

i get chick fil a for breakfast in about .1 days, and i'm extremely excited about that.
