The weekends left in America are coming to a quick halt, and with each passing day I'm realizing how much I'm going to miss my friends and family. I'm trying to cram every activity I can into these last weekends and having so much fun doing it. Its weird to look at acquaintances out and about and think "this might be the last time i see you for a while," but it also leaves an excited feeling inside me.
This last weekend I had my two best friends birthday parties on the same day. We went to the Piano bar in Springfield and had a blast. But i think the entire time we were there we made sure to soak in the moment, knowing this would be the last bday celebration together for 2 years. I'm going to miss you Ash and Tress, but don't forget to toast a drink to me next year on your birthdays.
I'm beginning to gather items up for my departure and its leaving me feeling a multitude of emotions: sad, anxious, excited, nervous and impatient. I've never really been a big planner, more of a spontaneous kind of person, and now I'm having to think of all the things I'm going to need for the next two years. That's HARD! haha. Never thought in my life i would be buying the 80 pack of tampons. haha.
So as i continue my countdown (20 days) I'm determined to enjoy all the things i love about my life here: from green bean casserole to bar hopping nights out, lounging on the couch, eating cheez-its, playing with my dogs, arguing about irrelevant things with my mother, laughing til my stomach hurts, basketball games, Sunday night football, my blackberry, driving my Tahoe, taking pictures and fast food.
I hope all of you reading this will get the chance to attend my going away party, its going to be a blast, Mom seems to have some things up her sleeve.
Always serving,
Mackenzie
