So I've got most everything packed.. And currently my suitcase is .5 lb under the limit. But thankfully I still have an empty carry on that is willing to welcome some spare articles of clothing, all while leaving room for new articles to accompany me home.

I can't believe it's almost here. I fly out on Friday!!  eeeek!! Tomorrow my family and I are meeting my daddy half-way to have lunch with him and spend some time with him before I jet off, which will be really nice.

It's all still surreal that I'm leaving in a matter of days!!!
