You guys are the best!

I have the best friends in the world - here I am, 2000 miles away, and I haven't seen you for over six months, and yet you don't hesitate when I ask if you can help my mom (who is also fantastic for all of her help) load my stuff onto a truck. How am I so lucky? I have to wonder, and since I know that no answer will be forthcoming, I'm just going to sit back and revel in my good fortune. It's amazing, the people in my life who, even when it's been way too long since we've seen each other, when we get together, it's like we never left. I am so grateful for that, and for you all. The knowledge that if I truly needed one of you, you would be here as fast as humanly possible, leaves me humbled. I only hope that I can live up to your kindness and graciousness when my turn comes to pass it on to someone else.

anticipation is part of the fun, right?

So my mom is going to put the remainder of my worldly possesions in a container tomorrow and have them shipped to me. As of next Friday (hopefully) I will have Officially Moved to Washington. and I will have a real bed to sleep on again! It's sad, because it means that my life in Minnesota is officially part of my childhood, and I'll never again be able to go home to MInnesota. I've felt homeless for a long time, and though I do have my own apartment out here, it doesn't really feel like home. I can't wait for that day, when I can walk through the door and know in my soul that I belong there.
