Well my Countdown clock is down to zero folks and Emily leaves in 20 days to follow.

I have this excitement that I felt my freshman year of college. So many new experiences ahead, people to meet and discoveries to make. The difference is I am more prepared this time around for what is to come. Now, "what is to come" I cannot exactly say, but I know it will be an adventure and I have never felt more ready for a change in pace.

My dad called me and asked me if I was doing ok because I was sounding a bit melancholy that day. I always felt as if that word was pretty dramatic anyways, but it could not be more wrong. He said I would usually be more excited leading up to a trip, but this is not me going to camp for 2 weeks in Wisconsin or visiting friends in NYC. This is a trip I have been dreaming about for a long time and it is so much more than a vacation. I have been ready for a few weeks now and maybe it is just the calm before the storm (a good kind of storm haha).

And on the other hand I think Emily and I were squealing last night when we were saying our goodbyes. "See you in Scotland"!

Who says that?!?! WE DO!


Anyways my bags are packed, ipod loaded and I am so ready to go. Very ready to leave a few things behind in good old Clarksville and ready to discover whatever is out there for me.

Thank you all for the love the past week! I am lucky to have the circle of people that I do. You are all wonderful!

Peace out USA. See you in May.
