How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. ~Carol Sobieski and Thomas Meehan, Annie
Yesterday was a long day. First church, then helping finish lunch, then family started coming. It was fun playing an hour or two of Apples to Apples with the family, because it gave me some good memories from the day as opposed to just goodbyes. Later in the afternoon friends and those people who are so close they could be family, but are not, came over. Thank you everyone for coming! It was a good day, but I was pretty drained by the end of it.
It seems unreal that I will not see most of these people again until next July. They are all so much a part of my life that it just doesn't seem possible! Saying goodbye definitely made this experience more real to me, probably because nothing real and worthwhile is 100% good. Now I really believe that in 48 hours, I will be in an airport in Denver. It's not just a dream anymore!
Here's what today holds: packing, finish cleaning my room out, going to town for lunch with dad (and an errand, but that's not important!), and maybe visiting grandma. Busy busy!
Oh, my gosh Cassey! It's almost here! I'm so excited for you! Panic? OK, just a little--but it's really just hyper-excitement! :) I'll keep reading and thinking about you. I plan to be in France before your "stint" is up, so I'll let you know when! Probably won't be too close, but I can call and say hi! Have lots of fun! Cindy
