10 Days Out!

So ten days from now I will be pulling out of my driveway to head to Dallas, Texas.  Everyone keeps asking me if I am excited and I am, but it all feels so surreal!  I don't feel like I won't be in Atlanta in two weeks.  I've been here my whole life so this is all I know really, other than my few years at Clemson.  I'm so excited for change and new experiences, but I'm scared too.  Scared I won't do well or won't know enough or won't fit in.  I know that is not from the Lord and I know without a doubt He is leading me this direction, these are just my insecurities coming out.  

My going away party is this weekend at my sister's house.  I'm so grateful to her for doing all this for me and I love parties (especially ones for me ;)), but this will be bittersweet.  I have felt so loved from everyone this summer wanting to spend time with me and this will be like the last horrah.  It will sort of make it more official.  I know my mom is reading this and dreading me leaving along with a few others, (Alisa & Thea) not to mention any names ;), and I love them for it!  It will be hard to say goodbye, but we all know that November will come fast and I'll be home for Thanksgiving. :)  And then a few weeks and home again for Christmas. :)  This summer has been so great and I have really truly enjoyed working at the church and spending my last few precious weeks with the kids at the gym, but I feel a calm/peace about this move.  So it will be hard and I am nervous/anxious, but it's time and it's right.  I'll write more once I get to Texas.  For now, just want everyone reading this to know how much I appreciate them!

Much love,

Jill
