smiling from ear to ear!!!

Well I got my passport on Friday!  I was so excited I couldn't stop smiling! Things are really coming together.  I had my 2nd garage sale on Friday...I made about 60 $...not too bad.  I opened at 7 and closed at 12:30.  So all together I have made about 90$ over 2 weekends.....60$ will get me a taxi from the airport to my volunteer house.  I will try again in the middle of May.  I'm starting swim lesson next week and I'm putting ALL that $$$ towards my trip as well. I was also introduced to my house mates via email.  There are 4 from the US and one from Sweden.  I have emailed them a little about myself and hope to hear back soon.  I'm reading all I can and doing lots of research.  I'm still studying my Spanish and my roommates and kids at school are helping.  I just can't wait.  I told my sister I want to start packing already, lol! I'm sure there is more to say, but I will keep everyone posted. :)
