Well, the visa has been issued, matriculation is in process, packing is nearly done...and so many other loose ends are finally coming together (after a long and panicky period of time!) and I am getting very excited and nervous. :) I am leaving Monday evening, February 1, to arrive Tuesday afternoon, the 2nd. Less than a week away and I'm starting to feel the surreal feeling ebb away and realize that it is all actually happening!
God has really blessed this whole thing along the way. All the pieces have fallen into place and it has only been possible with the help of all of my family and friends who have contributed to this once in a lifetime experience. Thank you to all of you for prayers and help in this. Next time you hear from the Lifted Kilt, it'll be on the other side of the pond!

Welcome to The Lifted Kilt

Hello Friends and Family!

Welcome to The Lifted Kilt, the blog for my semester of study at the University of St. Andrews. For all of you Gordon friends, I know many of you recognize the name, but I couldn't resist. Within this blog you will gain access to the experiences of a student living in the home of golf, the beaches of Chariots of Fire, and the hospitality of the Scots.

I hope you all enjoy the posts and pictures that will soon be gracing this web page, and if you would like a postcard, send me an address! :) I am looking forward to sharing my experiences with you all!
