But now, thanks to my wonderful dad (he did more in 30 minutes than I was able to do in a week), my loving friends and family, and some good old fashioned hyperventilating, I'm packed, boarded, and ready as I can be for my upcoming journey.
My family and friends have been instrumental in my getting ready for this trip. Running errands, incredibly useful gifts, just watching me whirlwind through the house. Thank you all so much. With a smile on my face and tears in my eyes, I leave you for a short time. I will miss you terribly.
