I leave for Chicago tomorrow morning..where has the time flown. It feels that I just left Greenville to come home for the summer and now I'm about to head off to Chicago. If you were to ask me how I'm feeling at this point, I would say: nervous, anxious, excited, scared, and every other emotion there is. Like I've said before, I'm not a fan of the unknown, but God is putting me through the unknown. I have to keep reminding myself that what I'm doing is to glorify His Name and to grow in my relationship with Him.
It has taken me two days to pack everything for my trip..and let me say that I am such an over-packer. I have two large bags, a book bag, and I've already shipped some things to Chicago. Packing is such a process, too. I've never had to pack for two months and I think I have everything I need, if not then oh well.
I've also managed to visit most of my family within the last few days. Most importantly, I've gotten to spend some good time with my grandparents. I'm going to miss them so much while I'm gone. They are so precious and dear to my heart. While with my pawpaw and nannie this morning, I got to spend some time with my sweet little baby cousin. I have enjoyed being able to see him so much while I've been home. I even told him today that he wasn't allow to grow while I was gone, but he could when I get back. I'm sure he won't listen to me.
Chicago is only about 17 hours away. So Hello Chicago, Goodbye Mebane.
The next time I post anything, I'll be in the big Windy City :)
Ahhhh you are there now. I know you are in the rush of unpacking and getting to know everyone, such great memories. These first few weeks are going to be like the exciting rise in a roller coaster, soak them up! But make time to rest, you will thank yourself for that one later ;-)
