How it all started

It all started with a request from DAF to help with a production release project. The other engineers which were more qualified than myself were un-available. So I went home Wednesday after my managers informed me that I was their choice to go but it was up to DAF whether they would need me to go. I arrived at work on Thursday and got the good new that I would be going to DAF for at least four weeks! WOOT!! I was excited. they asked if I'd be able to leave Saturday (yes, that's two days to prepare) and I said "Sure, why not." fortunately for me my manager had the foresight to change the departure date to Monday when he realized how rushed I was to prepare for leaving for such a long time. I closed up some deals with re-financing my house that Friday and took the weekend to visit with family and friends. Now it's Sunday night and I'm just about done packing, all that's left is a load of Laundry.

This trip is very significant for me. For those of you who know me, you know that I've been restless the last little while; something in me wants to go on an adventure away from what I've always known. well, it's amazing how God works because this one just popped into my lap! None of my other options looked right and my motivation for those was escape from my frustrations. I made the decision to stick it out because that's what I felt was the right thing to do. Now I see how it all works out for the best! I'm on my way for an awesome adventure traveling around Europe for a month and it's all paid for! WOOT! I know I'm going to come back a different man. Just watch and see! I can feel something is really going to change!
