Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow...

Three parties in three days. Saying goodbye is harder than most people think. At this point, I'm completely exhausted, and overwhelmed with the arduous task of packing. Who was the idiot that put a 50lb weight limit on luggage anyway? As I set my affairs in order (paying one last traffic ticket, making bank deposits, cleaning out, and putting everything in storage) its kind of hitting me that I'm leaving. Dont get me wrong, I'm still so excited, and completely confident in God, its just that now that Ive said goodbye, there are some people of whom I wont see again for a year. It kind of makes it more real. I've only known for 6 months now that I would be leaving. I've answered the same questions about my trip over and over again so many times that it feels much longer than that. It was almost like it would never come, like something I just talked about happening in the future...and now this is it! I'm here! :)
I guess it's more surreal, because I thought I would never get here, never get to actually say goodbye. And now that I have, it's kind of bitter sweet... I love my friends, family, and all of the supportive people in my life. I pray I reflect a little bit of all of them in the things I do, and ALOT a bit of God.
So here it is... my last goodbye. I love you. A-DIOS.
