I'm here! I'm here!

All the anxiety, all the stress, all the busy preparations and worrying, and I'm here at last! I never would have guessed that it would be this easy! I'm here! All except my backpack which got lost on the way over! Haha, well not exactly lost I hope! When I went to pick up my bag, it was nowhere to be found! I think that someone slacked off and didnt remember to load my bag and one other students. But lets hope they follow through and remember to ship it here this morning. But I am very grateful to be here safely. Last night when I arrived in Belize city, the other students and I got to ride in the cutest smallest plane I've ever been in. Victoria got to sit in the cockpit! It was so cool, but I was afraid we'd crash, because there was a lot of turbulance and we were about as big as a 10 passenger van! When we finally landed at our destination we all walked over to the boat dock and got to ride in a motor boat on the lovely Carribean sea for about 15 minutes to our base. I could barely help myself from shrieking the whole time in delight! The water and sky were amazing! After arriving to the base, we got to have a brief orientation of where we'd be living and then we ate our dinner of massively huge hambergers like a pack of ravenous wolves! I was famished but thankful for such good hearty food. I had no idea how american it was going to be though. So, as soon as I could I climbed into my 'closet' of a bedroom, fell asleep like a baby being rocked to sleep with the Carribean waves and woke up in a sweat! But I'm here! I'm here! I'm here! I am sooo blessed! Can't immagine it being any better! So to all of you back at home who have prayed for me, journeyed with me during my planning and gave whatever you could to help me get here: I love you all and thank you! I will keep you posted!
