Leaving

Today I am leaving. I've packed my bags er, boxes and we are going to start our drive down. I've said goodbye to friends (yesterday) without shedding a tear; thank goodness!! But there was a lot of hugging. Then today I said goodbye to Simon (little puppy love) and I'm going to say goodbye to Chestnut in a little bit. Its so hard to just pack up your life and go somewhere new. It's also exciting, like an adrenaline rush. I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time dreading it. We'll see what happens! I can guarantee you on Sunday there will be tears. All thats left to do is drive. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. ~Frederick Buechner
