That's right, the time has finally come!
I can't wait to get to Germany, now that my bags are packed, of course!
One more day with my family, since I'm leaving at 5pm, it gives me plenty of quality time with them!
So excited!
It's really helping me that everyone has been so supportive-from my friends, to my family, to my boyfriend and his family! Like I've said in my "Who am I?" section, it's really important to surround yourself with positive people that will keep you positive and excited for your adventures! They are, in a way, apart of this experience as well!
Until Germany!

One Week Until Departure!
I know I haven't even shared the link to this blog with many, so you just might be reading this after I'm already in Germany- it's all apart of the adventure!
I am eagerly getting ready to depart- and by that I mean, totally procrastinating and s-l-o-w-l-y getting everything taken care of! I got confirmation today that my phone line will be put in on the day that I move into my apartment- how amazing, right?! Germany efficiency at its finest! I will also be giving that number out to my friends and family, BUT I will have unlimited calling to the US, so if a random number comes up on your Caller IDs, it's probably me- so please answer?
"Are you excited?!"
I know those who ask genuinely care, and I appreciate it greatly that you're asking, but of course I'm excited! This week is the 2nd worst part about this whole trip! The worst will be the week before I leave Germany, where I'll probably feel like I just need yet another week to accomplish something that I hadn't in the 10 months I was already there. (I'm going to do my best to make sure this doesn't happen!) The week before departure, for me, is full of mixed emotions. I'm realizing that the time here with friends and family is running short, and the time that my plane leaves is coming ever more close. It's really conflicting, of course I want to get there, but I don't want to go through all the heart-filled "see you in 10 months" conversations. I love you all, but ugh- it's hard! All the cousins and little kiddos in my life are going to be growing up so much in the time I'm gone, and those that are older, well, will be even just a little bit older when I return. I'm going to miss out on yet another Thanksgiving, another Christmas, another Easter, another 4th of July.. all of those things.
At the same time, I wouldn't trade this upcoming experience for anything. My friends and family are so supportive and understanding, and there is NO WAY I wouldn't go! I know the next 10 months are going to be filled with amazing experiences and people, and I am so looking forward to it! I've got a lot to learn, a lot to go through, and after fitting these mounds of clothes and random things I'm taking with me into 2 suitcases, I'm going to ready to get to it! <3
