I'm leaving for China early tomorrow morning. Really early. Needing to be at the airport by 4:30AM early. I should be sleeping but instead I'm charging electronic devices and yawning. I still need to shower and get dressed in clothes that I hope are appropriate for spending way too many hours on an airplane. (Did I mention it's my first time flying?!)
Here's what I'm thinking right now:
Packing was easier than I thought it would be, which makes me wonder if I did it right. I also wonder if I've packed too much. Probably. I'll tell you one thing though, I don't think I'll run out of deodorant or tampons.
Goodbyes suck. Seeing people you love cry, sucks. Seeing (or hearing) people you love fight back tears, sucks. But having people to say goodbye to rocks. Knowing people love you and support you, rocks.
And now for some housekeeping:
I'm not sure when I'll be able to blog again, but I've scheduled a few posts to pop up over the next week or two, so please stop by. I've decided this will be a good way for me to share some of the things that I've bookmarked that have helped me think I'm doing the right thing. I promise that I'll post an update as soon as I can, even if it's only a few words or photos.
If you have questions about my move to China, read this post, send me an email, or ask in the comments. I'll answer as soon as I can!
Oh, Amanda. I only know you through our blogs, but reading this post made me a little emotional. Weird? I know right! I guess I am so thrilled for you and I understand how your loved ones feel. They will miss you so much, your sunshine, your whimsy, but they are also so proud of your courage and spirit. As I am.
ReplyDeleteI really hope that blogging can continue for you, but if not I will be sure to email you to keep in touch. Be safe sweet lady and enjoy your new adventures.
