Today was my final day in FL before moving. It was definitely surreal. I still can't believe that tomorrow morning, I'll wake up, get on a plane, fly to New York, and stay there. I've never even moved before! Still, I'm VERY excited!
I really didn't do too much today. I just kind of relaxed, watched tv, did some packing, had lunch with my mom... pretty casual stuff. Then, people started coming to say goodbye. First, my children's pastor from 4 or 4 years ago came and she gave me a big hug and prayed over me. Now, I'm not really a religious person, but I can definitely appreciate the passion behind prayer. My godparents came at night to do the same thing and to pick up my younger brothers, who are staying with them while my parents drop me off in NY. Saying goodbye to my brothers was, like my other goodbyes, pretty smooth and anticlimactic. Same with my best friend, Jill. She came over right before my godparents. I definitely got a sucky feeling saying goodbye to my family and friends the past couple of days, but not really any overwhelming emotions, which is good. I need to stay focused. The thing that really sucks is watching other people get emotional over me leaving. It makes me feel awful, like I'm abandoning them, even though that's not the case. Still, it sucks.
So this is it. After I finish posting this blog, I'm shutting down my computer, packing it up, and going to bed. Finally, the blog posts will be a lot more interesting and positive! I'm excited for that. See you tomorrow... IN NEW YORK!

Hello, neurosurgeon/fashion designer (that show comes on Thursdays at 10 on Lifetime, you better Tivo it; http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/project-runway). I hope the trip was great and that your parents aren't too sad. I just wanted to say hi.
And my comment on the blog is that I am glad now I didn't get sad in front of you. I mean, I know it was no secret that I had selfishness in wishing you could stay close, that I didn't want you to go away. But I didn't want to cry or get upset in front of you. I thought it would probably make you feel awkward. However, I did have some thoughts of "I wonder if he expected us to get upset, I hope he knows how much he means to us, even though we aren't crying." You know? I figured you did, especially since I tell you all the freaking time (and am, at this point, semi-stalking you like a fat chick at Starbucks). So I guess I am just glad I was right, and know you well enough to keep everything on the cheerful tip when we were together. Which is easy, because you're a ton of fun to be around and are a happy person. Obviously I felt sad about you leaving, but I never really thought about it when we were spending time together. Because we're awesome.
Love you!
