Prepare for Takeoff

I am very excited to travel alone. This will be my first time traveling outside Minnesota without my family. I’m also thrilled about going to Baltimore.

Jaelynne's Roller Coaster Ride to Northwestern

Let me first apologize to my followers(that’s the correct name for you guys, right? Maybe readers is more culturally correct?)  for the delay. This last week before I leave has been busy. I started work at the Minnesota Department of Revenue this week. In the evenings I was a camp counselor for my church. The…
