Saying Goodbye Isn't Hard.....

Today has been a rollercoaster of emotion. I'm having a very difficult time accepting that I am actually leaving tomorrow morning.....I had so many ideas on what to  write about, my last post before I leave. Now all I can think is "what the heck am I doing?!" I'm not feeling very profound or detailed, just scrambled and....terrified mostly.
My Dad is taking me to the airport tomorrow morning, my flight should leave at 8:00 am, if everything goes according to plan I should land in Phoenix, Arizona by 11:00, have a short lay over, then pull out all off my keen street knowledge and cleverness to find my new plane boarding place (I'm pretty sure that's the official name.) Hopefully after boarding the correct plane, passing through a few time zones and being thoroughly confused  to what the actual time is I shall land in Boise, Idaho at what I believe,(if my calculations are correct) will be 12:00 pm (2:00 pm in Georgia) and that will  be the easy part. ^_^
My brother Jonathan is also leaving for YWAM this month, June 27. His base is in Honolulu. I won't see him for 9 months after tonight so he suggested that we hang out all night, and I very readily agreed to the idea, being under the realistic assumption  that "all night" meant something like, "until I get sleepy at midnight".
.....oh silly me. It was 11:30 pm tonight, I had recently just got home from being out with friends and was going to get all of my luggage fully pact and together, Money in order and then double check everything.....he flung open my door and leaned on the frame, a Kroger bag full of Kick Start Orange Citrus Mountain Dews and a head full of plans for the next 5 hours, let me just say that we did not have the same plans in mind. I stuck to my schedule though, I was firm.....and that's only one of the reasons I am now finishing off my first can of Dew and trying to manipulate the ever changing real estate of a 4 person game of Monopoly.......I will probably regret this....aahh it'll be fine.
For all of my true friends out there, you can send me all kinds of edible things and letters  to this address.

I can think of almost nothing more exciting then getting mail my first week away-and even after that, and of course I will return the gesture ( unless it's cookies, in that case I will eat those in there entirety)

So like I said, saying goodbye isn't hard.....it's the leaving that is.
