Leaving

I already know that leaving is going to be a rather bittersweet moment. I just planned my last night home for three months with my boyfriend, a simply dinner and movie at my house. I said I couldn't wait to kiss him, and he said " I don't want to, it means you're leaving" and thats when I realized the next time I see him si the last time I get to hold his hand and cuddle with him and just be with him for three months. Three months is going to be my longest amount away from home ever, which will be a great adjustment, but I'm sure a good one. I told him I will write and call as much as possible, and by writing I do not mean a simple email, but that great thing we now call snail mail.

This summer is goign to be amazing, and it is getting so much closer.In just 5 days I will be meeting some people that I am already positive are going to be an awesome addition to my friends. I have talked to them online and they seem so much like me, and so fun loving and dorky. I am so excited to work with them and the kids. I am worried though that the kids are going to be that of the spoiled bunch, looking at the cost of a 2 week stay for these children.

I am excited, nervous, panicky and giddy; all at once. I am smiling one minute and after talking to my boyfriend I have tears going down my cheeks, the thought of not being with him for three months is worrying me, but we both say it will be okay and that it will be an amazing summer. I know it will be, it just has to be. I will be sad sometimes, and the rest will be filled with amazing moments with amazing people.

Please pray for me as I get ready to leave.
Pray for safe travels.
Pray for a safe state of mind.
Pray that I will be able to go without the daily structure that I have built, that I can go without my family, boyfriend, church family and just the life I have come to love so much. I will miss everybody more than one could ever imagine and will never stop thinking of you all!
