Well it is official! I am going to Iraq and Kuwait with the Houston Texans Cheerleaders! I still can't believe that I am going! It has always been a dream of mine since I joined the Texans to give back to our troops in some way. I always try to sign up to do anything that involves the military because I have a special place in my heart for the men and women who sacifice everything for our freedom and safety.
We leave in exactly 5 days for our two week tour and I am slowly working several things including: making a packing list, buying hiking boots (yes, this will be an interesting purchase for me), hitting the gym and learning the dance routines we must perform. This week the five of us that are going to Iraq (myself, Meg, Larisa, Marisa and Ashley T.) will be getting together to work out the routines that we will be performing for our troops.
I hope to keep a diary and keep you all posted on what is going on. I have been made aware that I may not have Internet access at all times while visiting Iraq, but I promise to do my best to blog about what is going on thoughout this adventure!
