Goodbye

Today I'm leaving to go down to Chicago. My flight isn't tomorrow, but we decided it would be easier to drive down tonight. Last night it hit me, tonight's the last night I'm going to be sleeping in my bed, in my house. I just thought about all the things I was leaving behind today, and let's just say it was a really rough night. This whole trip will be worth leaving things for a year, but so many things will be different, and I'm sacrificing so much to do so. It's going to be hard saying goodbye to my life today, but at least an amazing experience will come out of it all.

Almost There!

I have my suitcase just about all packed up except for the last few needed items. I have 5 days left, and it still feels like a dream thinking about being away for a year. I look at it and think, "How did I ever get the chance to experience this once in a lifetime opportunity. I am one lucky girl". I'm very excited, but very sad when I think about leaving everybody. It's crazy that the time has gone by so quickly!

24 Days!

It's only 24 days left until my year long adventure begins! I'm getting so excited!
