Well, today's the day! I'm very blessed to have been able to have said goodbye to everyone that I did. Ally took me out for a classic American meal at McDonalds, and it was awesome. I spent ten fun filled days in Memphis with Patrick and his family (and I got to see the King!) I went to Lansing and had dinner with my hilarious godmother, uncle and cousins, and saw Blue Man Group and went shopping with my grandparents. I was very afraid I wouldn't be able to see them, but, luckily, I was able to go back and spend more time with my other grandparents and cousins. I said goodbye to my Heather today, and though it was a short visit, it meant a lot to me. Of course, I spent lots of time with my mom, dad and siblings, and my mom made me my favorite meals before I left (because she is the ultimate mom).
Last night, as all good travelers do, I had a mental breakdown while I packed everything last minute. Yet, like everyone kept telling me, everything is fine. Obviously, I cried when my godmother called to say goodbye, and harder when I finally said goodbye to my family. I'll miss everyone more than they understand, and I will always be thinking of them.
I'm praying for a safe flight, (fingers crossed I don't get sick!) and I'm getting more and more jitters as I sit here.
But, quoting
Up, "Adventure is out there!" This is the trip of a lifetime, and I'm very grateful for it. Thank you to everyone making it possible, especially my mother who did everything for me because I'm lazy and ignorant. When you read my next post, I'll be across the pond!
