Only 1 week!!

I had an exciting weekend... two "goodbye" parties, plus a study group, and I got my head shaved. It's definitely a new look (and feel) for me. I haven't been able to stop touching my head. The picture is of me and one of our family friends, Mel; he's the one who shaved my head (he did a really good job... he barely even nicked me).

On Sunday I was stuck by a moment of panic: We haven't been taining enough! We're not going to make it over the cascades! My knees will give out after the first day!... all my nervousness came out at once. I've gotten over it for the most part now, though. I think we'll make it all the way across the country.

PS - this is from the Mom/Sue. this blog should've been posted last week; i just left chip and seth this morning -the 9th- they started on their adventure at 8:57am. will leave it to seth to write the specifics!!!
