what did i do?

It's now been a few weeks since I learned I got the Fulbright and will head to Indonesia for 10 months. Dear people have expressed their enthusiasm, and their responses foiled my own internal response of "oh my gosh, what did I do?" One never really knows how or why these sorts of opportunities pan out, and I certainly knew to prepare for disappointment. When the news came, I then faced the reality of life on the ground in the archipelago of Indonesia...a place I've never been, but one that now occupies my dreamspace. This blog will be my attempt to chronicle the process of preparing to go and the going. I am looking forward to a new journey and what it holds for Todd and for me. Join us as we go...
