Reflecting

As yall can see, I took a few days off. To be honest, nothing huge happened. Reality is reeeally startin to set in, let's just say that. Saturday I went to a friend's baby shower. It was so awesome; everybody wore their big hats and sundresses :-). As I left, and began cruising the ocean strip with my hair blowing in the wind, I just thought "maan I'm going to miss this." I'm going to miss my friends soooo much. They've always had my back, always been there, never left my side...it just really hit me. Of course I went to church on Sunday and enjoyed a moving service. Got home and thought "maaan I'm going to miss my church." As much as I know that God will be with me allll the way over in Dominica, Im going to miss the folks that has always encouraged and prayed for me...my church family. The cool thing is that my dad has been getting cds of the sermon each Sunday so I can take them with me....a lil piece of home that will keep me connected. I hear that Ross has a lot of opportunities for students to practice and share their faith and im truly excited about that. Yesterday, it was back to my "to do" list. I called around to some shipping places to get their rates. Booooy is this getting expensive. It got a lil frusterating b/c some of the carriers dont have aaaany drop off places remotely close to me...no good. Today I was in luck! Amerijet has a dropoff place in Norfolk (10 min. away) and their rates are pretty good, so i think im gonna go with them! In addition, I found a 58 gallon barrel in Norfolk in Craig's list for $20!!! This was a bonus, b/c a lot of shipping companies dont carry supplies and a lot of the websites out there are expensive as all get out, ranging from $50-$100 a barrel! Two victories today! Yippee! Plus, my parents are coming with me so ill have three suitcases instead of one...maybe i can get my parents to put all their stuff in one carryon(maybe thats pushing it lol). But let me stop before i start getting teary eyed...been a lil emotional today...like I said, reality is starting to set in. But im still SMILING..CHEEEEEZE!lol

Until next time, be blessed and I love you all....
