Alright...so my bag is officially in my room to pack my things, and I am about to lace up for my last casual run until Monday and I couldn't be more nervous! My flight leaves tmrw at 6:39am! ahhh! I just wanted to say thank you to all of you have said such kind words and have shown your love and support...it means the world to me, and it's so nice to know I have such amazing people in my life! It will definitely help to carry me through especially on the hill they call 'heart break'. argh! also thank you over and over again to my peeps who are boarding flights today and over the weekend to route me on! this is going to be an experience of a lifetime! xoxo
