Goodbye...hello

Two and a half days.
In two and a half days I will be boarding a plane for warmer weather.
In two and a half days I will begin the adventure of fulfilling a dream.

For the past week packing has been chased out of my head everytime it begins to cross my mind. (I will need to come to terms with that here eventually...maybe tomorrow).


This weekend I attended one of my favorite winter events, the annual IceFest in my hometown. My best friend is came for the weekend which was very fun, what better way to spend some of my final days Stateside. Sad part...I had to say goodbye to her today...I also had to say goodbye to my brother Nate and his girlfriend Danielle. It is a very sobering thought to say goodbye to someone and realize it may be a very long time til you see them again. At the same time I have been reminded that even though the goodbyes here are hard, in a week I will begin to say just as many, if not more, hellos. I am looking forward to some long awaited hellos...I've been in contact via Facebook and Skype with my future roommates and cannot wait to see them in person. Friends at Espana...HELLO!



Oh PS...I look forward to sharing many more photos with you thanks to my parents who purchased for me a new DSLR camera. The IceFest pictures were from my practice run. If anyone has advice for websites to visit so I can learn how to better use my camera, let me know!

For now, hasta luego...I will write again when I am in Argentina safe and sound.
