The Hardest Part

Less than two days until I leave for Spain. And yes, the HARDEST part is saying goodbye.

It is crazy to think that I will be living in Spain on Monday. Today I spent the day running around and doing last minute errands that I needed to get done. Shoe store...had to make copies of passport, visa, EVERYTHING...last minute shopping, packing, etc. Then I decided to have something small at my house for my friends who wanted to say goodbye to me. You can ask my best friend, Kristen, and she'll tell you that I was texting her like crazy asking her why I decided to have a get together with my friends especially since the stress of leaving began to set in today. But thank God she told me not to worry about it and to go through with it! I realized I am lucky to have friends who came out to say goodbye to me AND friends who will be in Spain to welcome me when I arrive.

I spent the night surrounded by friends I met a few months after I was born, friends who I met in elementary school, friends who I met in middle school, friends who I met in high school and friends who I met in college. We had dinner and went out after to my favorite bar in West Chester. And I realized that although I will be living in Spain I have SOOOO many people back at home who cannot wait to see me when I get back and hear about my adventures. I know that most of my blog will be about Spain and my experiences over there. But for now, I want this blog to be about my amazing friends. Both the ones who were at my house tonight, the lucky ones still at PSU and the ones who's careers (like mine) have taken them to different parts of the country. You guys are awesome and I will miss you! You are the ones who encouraged me to do this and you are the ones who will bring me home. I am LUCKY to have you. Good luck to all of you...wherever life may take you, I know each one of you will do great things! I cannot wait for a rockin New Years back here in the USofA! Until then...Spain!
