My first blog entry

So this is my first blog entry. My sister put me up to it, and so here goes. I promise to try and keep it updated while I am in Zambia, but who knows how often I will have access to the internet. I did get some good news today, and that is that I will definitely be able to make it to Zak and Johnny's weddings next summer. I get two days off per month and I will probably have to come home for 24 days to make both of their weddings. Do the math and walla, all my days off are gone for the first year of my service with one false swoop. That's ok. I am sure it will be well worth it. Maybe I can even give my best man's speech in some strange African tribal language. I will try to get up some pictures or something before I go.
