Leaving on a Jet Plane

The hardest thing up to now has been trying to pack my life into two suitcases (even though one did go over the limit by 15 pounds), that was up to now...The thing is, it's just now slowly setting in that tomorrow I'll be getting on a plane and leaving the country. The plane door will close and it will finally be official, my adventure will begin. It seems like such a long time ago that I first decided to go abroad, and now it's finally time, finally now.
This last week has been a blur, but I've managed to enjoy every bit of it. It's hard for me to find the right words to explain what everyone means to me, and I hope you meaning the world is alright because that's what you are, my world. I've spent a lot of time this last week with a lot of people shedding a good deal of tears, and I know I should of shed more, but somehow I'm sure that tomorrow I'll be shedding the most tears by myself on the plane.
I'm going into this with no expectations and I'm sure that is the best thing to do, to expect nothing but look forward to everything. I'm nervous, excited, and mildly terrified but I'm going to jump into this with everything I have because I know this is meant to be amazing.

I've spent the last few days in New York city with my mom and it has been wonderful. (and a nice transition) We've spent a lot of time walking around the city which has been pretty fascinating by itself. I guess I'm just a small town girl caught up in the big city, but it's been nice just the same. We saw two Broadway shows, Dirty Rotten scoundrels and Phantom of the Opera, both were absolutely incredible. Oh, and last night they were shooting the movie A Perfect Stranger informs of our hotel (pretty cool).

I'll try my best to keep you updated.
Thanks to everyone and all their support and kindness.
I'm sorry this one is short, but I have this feeling I'm going to have a lot to tell you the next time I get the chance.
until next time...
