It's OFFICIAL.

Hey guys!

If you're reading this, at some point in the last month, you've heard my excitement and anticipation for the opportunity to travel with WH students to Italy and Greece this coming June. As my delightful students finally admitted yesterday, "We didn't really think this would happen... I didn't actually think you'd get that many people..."

I'm pleased to announce... WE DID! As of yesterday, 39 people have enrolled in this trip. I looked at my darling husband last night and said, "What did we just get ourselves into."

We got into a life changing, unforgettable, irreplaceable situation. That's what we got into, and we're in it together, everyone!

I'm humbled, excited, and eternally grateful that you have joined us, in one way or another. Whether you are a student traveling, a parent sending a child, a family member following along on the journey, or a community member who heard about this opportunity, all I have to say is- welcome. Thanks for joining us.

This blog will discuss all of our pre-trip information, students will be guest posting about stuff we're learning in preparation for our trip, and it will serve as a central place for updates during and after the trip. Bookmark this page- it'll be a lot of fun to follow us. You can also find some updates at my twitter @volleybell.

Up next.... fundraising- the first step of Holmes County to Europe.
