One week countdown!

One week left to go till I'm off to the Big Apple. I'm starting to feel the countdown now. I'm working on putting things together in my room that I want to take with me, clearing out me closet of useless things - you name it, I'm on it (or done it!). Looks like I'll be crazy busy up until the day that I leave. I'll be working till then to get things done for Dad...lots to do at the shop. But when I'm finished, it will feel good to know that I've left things in order here at home and work.
One of my best girls is putting on a barbeque for me on Monday. I was so taken when she told me that she wanted to have a little good bye shindig for me. Talk about good friends! I am truly blessed. It's gonna be tough leaving my girls.
One of my best girls (who has been living in Hawaii doing YWAM among other things) just wrote me and told me that she is coming back to Kelowna on the 7th of September! Her flight was supposed to come in on the 12th and we both couldn't believe that we would just miss eachother. But, things have changed, and I'm so stoked!
Last night, I had some friends over - one of my basketball coaches from highschool and his wife. It was such a nice visit. He has invested so much into me over the years. Where can I even begin?
As the day draws near, I've been thinking about all the people I'm going to miss and that I love so much. I'd have to say it will be hardest to leave my brother. He's the kind of guy that I always feel close to no matter how long we've been apart. It's gonna be tough to leave him.
So many people that I'll miss. So many memories to take with me. So many people I love deeply. Let this be a shout out to all those who I'm friends with or come in contact with: I love you guys!
