If you were to have asked me back in August how I thought I would be feeling 5 weeks out from launch, I probably would have told you I don’t know that’s forever away right now. As I sit back and think about everything that I’ll be missing while serving God and answering His call, it brings tears to my eyes. Tears of sadness but also of joy.
Sadness because I realized that Saturday night I might have had my last worship experience with so many friends before I leave. Also sadness because 6 weeks after I leave my best friend is marrying the love of her life and there’s a possibility that I won’t be able to be on facetime to see them exchange their vows. Even though my time with friends and family is dwindling down I’m enjoying every moment with them and I’m gladly giving up sleep to spend time with them during the weekends.
While I’m sad that physically can’t be at my best friends wedding I’m over joyed for them to start get married and start their life as a married couple. I have cried more in the last few days than I thought I would have.
36 more days of laughter. 36 more days of coffee runs. 36 more days or endless phone calls at 2am. 36 more days before I have to say see you soon to my family and friends. 36 more days before the real tears begin. 36 more days of sleeping in my own bed. 36 more days of HOT showers. 36 more days split between working and fundraising to find time for everyone. Wow!!! 36 days!!! Where has the time gone?
Please be praying for my squadmates and myself as we are only 36 days away from launch. We have an endurance hike that we must pass, 2.2 miles in 38mins or less! I’m currently 4-5mins above that time limit. If you feel led to donate please do so by clicking the orange donate button at the top of the screen and don’t forget to subscribe so you’ll get updates while I’m gone. I love you guys!
If you haven’t noticed there’s 36 days left before I leave so message me if you want to get together before I leave. If we run out of time before them well I’ll see you when I get home.
