Am I ready to go on my 4-month assignment? I am going through every imaginable emotion – excited, scared, anxious and terrified. When this trip first started to be a reality, I started to create list after list of things I needed to do, buy or find before I leave. Now, here I am 1 week before I leave and I have it all including the kitchen sink (as my mom would say).
I have been preparing the boys for what they need to do around the house while I am gone and today my conversation with CJ went like this:
Time for me to see the fruits of my labor.

I decided to start this blog to help capture my adventures for an upcoming business trip to India. However, as I was creating it, I realized I have always been someone who has enjoyed an adventure. And yet an adventure to me doesn't have to be a trip around the world, it can be close to home as well. For example, I took Andrew and CJ when they were younger on a Gangster tour in Chicago, I have gone to many Chicago sporting events and even jumped in my car to take pictures of the leaves changing in autumn.
I have also been very fortunate to have adventures away from home. To date I have spent the night in 33 different US States (it only counts if you sleep in the state), traveled to Mexico with Emily with her friends, been to London twice on business and as an adult taken my parents on several bucket list trips. Check out the photos on the "HAWK EYE" page. When I reflect on each of these trips, I recall the majority of the most memorable things happened that weren’t even planned, or the trip was topped off by new unexpected friends have made who I am still in contact with this day. So as this new adventure begins, I am excited for the unexpected and exciting adventures in store for me. |
