Saying Good-bye

Well its my last weekend in the states. I'm getting really excited. Leaving Chicago and saying good-bye to everyone that I love there was really hard. I miss them so much. I had a great farewell party...it was a lot of fun! I have to thank Jill, Eric and Kristina again for letting me couch hop at their places for three weeks. I love you guys, you're the best! I also want to thank Robin for driving 8 hrs to bring me home...you are so sweet!

Being in the Fort for the last two weeks has been a good transition. Its been great hanging out with my family and seeing my relatives and friends from high school. I actually had a local paper hear about me leaving and they came and interviewed me on Wednesday. Too bad I'll be gone before I see the story in the paper.

These next two days are going to harder than I imagined. I've never had to say a real good-bye to my family before. I'm having the craziest dreams at night and not sleeping too well. And then there's the packing thing...its not going so well yet. I'm very torn on what to bring and what not to bring. I'm sure my bags will be too big and over the weight limit. Oh well. Tomorrow everything has to get done...because I'm leaving early Sunday to head to Columbus for my nephew Shrey's baptism. Then I leave early Monday morning out of Columbus to Philadephia for staging. Wish me luck!!
