I can’t remember the last time I stayed up all night. All I know is it’s been a looooooooooong time since then. I don’t like staying up all night. I like sleep. Very much. But tonight is not a night for sleep.

Tonight was my last night with my squad. It was a night full of surprises and love and laughter (and tears)- it was perfect. But I can’t write about it right now. I’m too tired.

It’s nearly 3 a.m. and I leave in an hour to go to the airport. I still need to shower and pack, of course.

By noon I’ll be in Venice, Italy. God is whisking me away for himself. Together we’re going to read poetry and eat pasta and wander the streets for hours. It’s our honeymoon.

Okay. Time to shower.

See you in two weeks.
