Who never watched Raiders of the Lost Ark and wished to be Indiana or Marion off adventuring in Egypt? In one week, my wishing is becoming REALITY. I'm not planning on warring with any Nazis, but I am pretty certain that I'll still have some great stories to tell. I will be studying at the American University in Cairo and will be learning the language, culture, politics, etc. I'm also going to be traveling for three weeks in April to other countries such as Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Israel (depending on the politcal climate at the time). Let's just say I'm excited. And if I'm being honest...a little anxious. Butterflies hit my stomach over the weekend when I drove past the airport, but my excitement still outweighs any fear or anxiety. I'm not sure how often I will have internet access, but I will be sure and update when I can! You can't send any packages, but if you would like to send a letter, the address is below :). Love to you all!

Very glad to see this new blog! I will check it often. I hope you have an excellent semester. We will miss you and we will be praying for all to go well for you. The butterflies are kind of hitting my stomach for you too!
Danielle,
We will certainly miss you this semester on our hall! It won't be the same without you, but know that I am praying for you. I think that you will have an unforgetable experience this semester, and I pray that God will calm your fears and comfort you when you are away!
