The Adventure Begins

So last Friday (March 19) I got the email that I had waited over 3 months to get... the news that I would be spending my summer volunteering with Latter Day Saint Charities on board the USNS Mercy as a member of Pacific Partnership 2010. This mean that I will be spending May through September on board a big boat being a nurse for the people of Southeast Asia.

At the request of family and co-workers I am going to attempt my very first blog (all feedback and comments on how to make this better will be much appreciated!) My plan is to give regular updates and photos of my goings on as internet access (apparently a bit sketchy on the boat) and my Navy/church permission allows me (apparently the Navy can be a bit picky about what gets posted online about it- with good reason).

So this is my first post mostly just to see how it works out and play with some of my settings. Hopefully they will be more interesting from here on out.
