Final Days

It has been a very emotional week for me. I have been busy saying good-bye to all my dear friends and family. I have been blessed in knowing so many great people here in Roanoke. All of you will be truly missed. I have also been trying to condense my life down to 2 suitcases. How do you do that? We will be moving in to a 4 bedroom house that they are furnishing for us. What does that mean and will I wish that I would have brought some household things with me? We chose not to concern ourselves with that and just trust that we could buy whatever is missing when we get there. That leaves two suitcases for clothes, shoes, purses, books, cosmetics, electronics, DVDs etc. It has really been an interesting process to look at all my possessions and ask what do I value enough to make space for. I hope that I'm packing correctly. If not , then I guess that's what MasterCard is for. My next post will be from New Zealand. I still can't believe it. We leave at 4:30 tomorrow and 28 hours later we will be there. I will start taking pictures when I get there and will hopefully post them(my tech skills are sometimes lacking), I intend to fully embrace this experience and hope to share some of it with you all.
