Today is my last full day in Nebraska. The house is quiet right now, which is the only reason I am spending any time on the computer! I was journaling a bit earlier this morning a few thoughts on leaving and thought I would share a few.
I feel very sad right now about leaving, and I really have no idea how this transition is going to go. The closest thing I have done to this was going to the Dominican Republic (for a mere 4 months.. that looks like nothing now!). The first few days I spent in the DR were very miserable. I was homesick, I missed my family and friends, and I was not feeling good about my decision to go there. It is amazing to me how far I have come since that time. If you had asked me then, I never would have predicted that my life would be quite where it is. Of course, that's probably true about most of us! Still, I am so grateful to all the people whose influence led me here (though maybe my parents would like to have a word with you.. just kidding, they led me here, too!).
A good thing about transitions like these is that they remind me how lucky I am to have the family I do! I love you all so much. I am sad to leave, excited to go, and trusting about everything in between.
