Goodbye for Reals
I told you that wouldn't really be a goodbye post. But this one is.
Because in less than twelve hours I will be on a plane to Miami! WHEEE! (And in less than seven hours I will be waking up to get awake and in the car and drive to the airport to get on said plane. Not WHEEEE!)
Since I think you probably already know that I am completely excited about this, I'll try not to say any more about how incredibly ecstatic (I adore that word, truly) I am.
So I'm all packed except for two water bottles that need washed. I woke up at six this morning (and I didn't even have to wake up til seven. I hate that.) and went to church (t'was really awesome) and saw Zach and the other kids off on their big CIY adventure. I got my Bible (which I misplaced) back from Carina and Katelyn and Rachel prayed seriously beautiful prayers for me and promised to write me letters.
I figured I'd be all impatient today and restless and ready to go... and I am... but it wasn't as bad as I thought. After church we went to the BX and I got some last minute things. We ate lunch at Applebee's, then came home for awhile. After taking a wee little nap, I joined Mom watching a Gilmore Girls (our new favorite show) marathon. Then Dad and I ran some errands (car gassed and washed, returning movies, stuff like that) and we got dinner at KFC and drinks at Sonic.
And since then I've just been doing things that need to be done before I leave. I ordered Zach's birthday present, put my email address in the parents' address book so they can email me, talked to my grandma, and ripped a couple new CDs. SO now I'm getting ready to sync them all... then I just want to take a bath and go to bed. Because I'm getting up at 2:30. Sweet.
Oh, I forgot... Obviously we decided to not go to Wichita tonight. I guess it does make more sense, but I'm still not too pleased. Whatever.
So yes, Good bye. I be back in two weeks. I'm planning on trying to journal some, because I'm afraid I don't remember anything any more if I don't put it on here. So when I get back I'll probably type it all in or at least do a condensed version.
Yippee!

Oh yeah, and if you are interested and want to see pics from the trip, go to www.briomag.com and click on this missions part. I think they're gonna update it like everyday. Sweetness.
