Time to head out!!

Oh goodness....technically, today is Friday, which means that I leave tomorrow. I'm feeling excited, nervous, anxious and kinda sad. I'm ready to leave, but it still saddens me to go. I know that God has amazing things in store, and I don't want to miss out on them because of anything, but I also know that I need to go through these phases and stages right now. It's only normal to be feeling these things, which is reassuring. I am almost finished packing, and I'm going to continue packing once I get off of here. I really only have to finish packing what is in my room. Mind you, that is no small task, but one that I will accomplish by tomorrow afternoon. I'll finish loading the truck tomorrow, which will be exciting! It will also be weird because my room will be somewhat empty. My room already looks empty....Tonight I had a grand time!! I went to Nick's pizza to see my brother and some friends. We ate, laughed and had fun. It will be different not having those Thursday night get-togethers anymore. Maybe I'll start having something on Thursdays at the Rez. That would be fun! After I said my good-byes at Nick's, I made my way to Starbucks to see more friends. That was a lot of fun, as well. I enjoy talking to those people, and look forward to staying in touch and hearing about their adventures at college, or here at home.

It's funny how this summer I have made more new friends. It makes me happy! For example, I have connected with the class that just graduated from high school. They are a really cool group of kids. Michael and Jason are two that stand out because of their love for God, for the friends and for their outgoing-ness. (Yes, that is a word.) It will be interesting to see how God uses them on their campuses.

Oh, and something you can pray about. Well, first of all, the trip this weekend. Pray that my parents and I will have safe travels and that the car and truck have no problems. Also, pray for me. I have been somewhat drained these past couple of weeks from meeting with people and packing, and not having much time to myself. The time I do have is always late, like right now. I feel like I have to stay up late in order to organize my thoughts and have alone time. So, if you could pray for me, that would be amazing.

Alright, it looks like the next time I write on here will be when I get to South Dakota. Fun stuff!!!
