So I am currently sitting in the upstairs of my parents home in Tennessee marveling at the mass destruction of their computer room (not to mention my bedroom and the bathroom, but that is beside the point) How in the world did i think i could fit all the things i wanted to take on this 11 month trip with me into ONE BACKPACK. As I'm sitting here laughing, my mom can't help but laugh at me as well. I guess this is where i start unpacking and taking things out.. i guess the idea of "getting rid of my worldly possession" is starting to be evident. Did i mention how big the bottles of malaria medication are, holy cow! Still i am totally excited and i can't wait..
It's been a crazy amazing last month here.. the homelessness of sleeping on my friend Jamie's couch wasn't that bad.. and the hopping around and living out of my car was actually pretty freeing. I got to spend tons of time with my friends and enjoyed every minute of it. Such an awesome Christmas with the family, fun Christmas and New Years parties..not to mention the total over-indulgence of chocolate!!
Today was my last day in Charlotte, such a bitter sweet feeling but now that there is a chance ill be moving back at the end of the trip- I'm not so sad. Though i can't say where I'll be at the end of this trip or how I'll feel so i can't make any decisions at this point, but i do have a feeling I'll be called back there. There is a reason for everything. 🙂 And His timing is always perfect, never early and never late..
Tomorrow is my final day in Nashville… Tuesday my mom and I will fly to LA for three days and then off to Thailand on Friday I go. So surreal even now that it is so close.. starting to wonder when it will feel totally real? When i take off from LA? When i land in Thailand? Or will the entire trip just feel like one big dream?
Just wanted to give a final blog from my dear sweet family home in Nashville Tennessee (now that my computer is put back together again.. yay!) Looking forward to sharing all my experiences with you all…
loves and hugs
Crystal
