Bittersweet

Where has the time gone? I feel like it was just yesterday that I got my visa approved and here we are almost 4 weeks later and its time to leave. Wow. The last few weeks have been so wonderful and bittersweet. One of my favorite new words, but it really is the best way to describe this time. I am so excited and yes, a little overwhelmed. I hate goodbyes and I feel like thats all i've been saying lately.
Last night my parents had some friends over, it was so nice to be able to see everyone before I left. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful extended family in Memphis. Tomorrow I head to Little Rock for one last dinner with my friends there and then I head out on Tuesday! I'm so ready! Well, almost...I still have some packing to finish so I better run!
