Leaving In Less Than 24 Hours

I am leaving in less than 24 hours and somehow I have managed to sit down and write an entry in my blog...I amaze myself. :)
I think I just need to sit down and do something to take my mind away from all the thoughts racing around my head right now.
I have just finished weighing my bags and if I put three more pounds of anything in either one of them I will be over my limit. I did it. I managed to pack and stay under 70 pounds. I did have to exchange a medium sized suitcase for a larger one in order to fit all my belongings, but that doesn't matter because I was able to stay under the 70 pound limit...although the 70 pound limit does mean I still have to pay 25 dollars for each bag because I've gone over the 50 pound limit...but that doesn't matter since I was shooting for staying under 70 pounds. :)

It finally hit me yesterday...the emotional response to moving to Africa. I didn't expect it to hit me the way it did. I didn't know how it would feel but it has been very intense. I called my mom and talked to her on the phone in tears...I don't even know if she understood what I was saying, but she was good about my emotional melt down. :)

I'm moving to Africa...it has finally really hit me and I am leaving tomorrow...timing is everything. :)
I'm having dinner with some cousins tonight...I hope I can keep it together until after dessert. :)
