I've Been Thinking

I've been thinking a lot lately about how fast time really does fly by.  Everyone tells you when you're little that as you get older time flies by.  I am only 25 and every year passes so quickly that I find it hard to remember how old I am!  I cannot even imagine what it will be like one day.  And what is it with deadlines?  When you are really excited about something that will happen in a year it feels like it will never come.  Once the time is near you realize how scary it will be and time just flies right by!

I've been thinking a lot about what all our big move is going to entail.  Packing up what few (in comparison to what we actually have) belongings we are going to be taking with us.  Selling everything else we own.  Moving half-way across the world (literally), all alone.  It just hit me the other day that I have never made a move without my parent's help before.  Of course they will be helping with the packing on this end of the move, but we've got to unpack all those suitcases and boxes by ourselves!  How will I get my closet color coordinated?  How will I know where to put all of my dishes and kitchen supplies?  And how will we get all of our stuff up who knows how many floors?

I've been thinking about how my days are so much busier now, but yet I really get nothing done.  As our D Day approaches, I yet again realize how short my time here is.  I want to spend as much time with my family and friends as I can, because pretty soon I won't be able to anymore.  I have so many goals to accomplish in anticipation of leaving.  Yet the most important thing is to be able to spend time with those who mean the most to me.  I am going to have a caffeine addiction (if I don't already) from all the coffee dates I have in one day.  I double book in one day without even realizing it, but I'm not going to turn anyone down.  If I have to have five cups of coffee in one day, so be it.

I've been thinking how much I am going to miss my family and friends.  I don't know what it's going to be like without you guys, but I am so thankful that each of you are in my life!
