But the universe is just an empty space and all the stars can disappear without a trace. I'm so glad that this has taken me so long 'cause its the journey that made me so strong.
It's hard to believe a semester is over already. Time has moved faster than I could ever have imagined.
I don't know if I have changed. I think I am still the same person, just with a little more confidence and a little less fear. I don't think that is a bad thing.
I need to start packing. As excited as I am to get home, I am realizing how sad packing is going to make me. Home has a different meaning. I am home here almost as much as I am in Virginia Beach. I love the family I have found in this place. I am going to miss them more than I ever expected to. I love it here.
I am ready for Christmas, though. I can't wait for playing Santa Claus and staying up cooking and wrapping and midnight trips to Target with Lacey and Mom. I am so excited. I miss them. Every time I talk to Lanie I remember how much I love that little girl. Hmm.
I can't wait to get home to see friends. I hate not being close enough to be there when someone needs it.
I also want to get home to figure out where this is going...I am definitely interested in it going somewhere. If not, I don't know. It will feel good to be close to someone for a little while but I am not sure I will be able to handle it if it doesn't mean anything...I don't know. I am almost afraid to hope. Things like this don't happen to me.
I couldn't ask for anything right now. I am so happy. I was walking to go get milk this morning for breakfast and there was so much fog that I could hardly see anything. I just put my arms out and let myself smile. I don't care if anyone saw.
