its begun...the goodbyes. i spent this past week with one of my friends, and then with my sister and her family. This morning before i left my sister's house we all danced to "oh sweet pea" the girls love dancing to that song. it was so fun...we danced and were crazy - and i fought back tears.
the reality of leaving home for a year is setting in. the hard goodbyes have started. over and over i just feel this combination of joy and sorrow....thrilled by this adventure that lies ahead of me...and also feeling the reality of not seeing people i love for a long time...
my list of things to do keeps getting longer - tomorrow i'm going to aggressively start crossing things off that list...errands to run, taxes to file, contact the bank, copy things, clean things...figure out what i'm going to take with me and start packing it!
i've also committed myself to the very serious task of eating a ton of all the foods that i won't be able to eat while i'm away...lots of good old american food. for now my goal of eating less meat has been thrown out the window! and i'm eating lots of cookies, and cookie dough...really, i'm just making it a point to eat all the foods i can think of that i love! - this is a very important assignment that isn't usually on your "preparation list" for being overseas - but it really shouldn't be neglected :)
