But instead I'm procrastinating on the internet. Mike drove out to Jackson to pick up his futon frame (so we will have a place to sleep when we move) from his old office, and I stayed here because I was packing and didn't want to stop. My goal is to have the bedroom done tonight..... we'll see if that actually happens.

I can't believe it's already going to be Thursday tomorrow, only 3 days left. Wow. I've been so busy stressing out trying to get everything done before Sunday that I've barley had time to think about the fact that I'm not going to see anyone after that.

I spent some time with Jenny and Sarah on Monday night for the last time before I go. It was so hard to say goodbye. When Jenny dropped me off we hugged close and kissed and she said "I don't want to say goodbye so I'll just see ya later". When I came to the door Mike opened it to see a few tears falling down my cheek and said "are you.." then he gave me a hug and I just couldn't contain the sobbing that immediately followed. I'm going to miss her hugs and her smile and her voice and all of her encouragement. And the way she laughs at herself when she does stupid things and the way we share everything and never judge. I'm going to miss her poetry.



That is Jenny, on the right holding her daughter, Judah. And that's her husband, Abel, and their son, Adam. She has such an amazing and beautiful family.

Jenny and I were brought into each others lives by God, for an important reason, she and I both felt it the instant we met. Although we may not live in the same city anymore, we will be friends until we die. Neither one of us ever questions that.

It's so weird to say goodbye to someone when you know how long it will be before you see them again. I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to my parents, my sister and Crystal.
