Time to pack

Well, it's finally arrived...today is Sunday, which means in less than 24 hours I will be on the road traveling to my new home.  It's a very surreal feeling, packing everything up and realizing that I'm driving these streets for the last time (at least the last time for a long time).  I'm currently laying on my couch wondering how in the world I'm going to fit 24 years of stuff into my tiny car.  It's seemed simple in theory, but now that it's time to actually do it I'm dubious.  This is also probably also due to the fact that I'm starving and waiting for food to arrive, and I'm nervous about actually leaving and want to put off the final packing until the last second.  My food will arrive soon, though, and I'll hopefully start moving.

I may be 24, but I LOVE YOU MOMMY.

Last night was my final goodbye to my wonderful coworkers and students.  I have loved getting to know these people during my 3 years at NECC and will miss them greatly!

To the Japanese mother I never knew I had.  Thanks for always being there for me, even when I was super obnoxious or sick or grumpy.  Love you!!!  There will always be a spot for you in my house, wherever I may be!  (Bootsie will keep it warm for you).

I said goodbye to my folks on Thursday and I didn't realize how hard it would be to say goodbye and then have this huge delay before my actual departure.  I though it would maybe make it easier, but it probably won't. I love you guys!

I don't tell my parents enough how much I love and appreciate everything they've done for me.  I would not be who and where I am today without their unending love and support.  <333  

To the best friend I never knew I was missing.  We never take good pictures together, but we sure are swell looking human beings.  

My NEFC children will always have a very special place in my heart.  <3

I still can't believe that my baby sister is all grown up and like a woman now.  I remember when we used to fight, and I wanted to drop her when she came back from the hospital.  I wouldn't trade my friendship with this sister for the world. Love you sis!  Come visit me all the time, I'll even set up a special bed just for you.  It'll be waiting.

I am so proud of my brother and the man he is becoming.  <3

We were the first in Allen's lab; as we go our separate ways, I know that we will all be super successful in all that we do!  ABA!!! 

I don't really have pictures of my sister and her husband, but this sums them up perfectly.  We don't see each other much, but I'll miss your random quirks!

Apt 625--roomies for life.  I don't care that we're going to be 3000 miles away, we're still roommates and I love you.

Cheers to 3 of the most wonderful ladies!

To my wonderful NCR crew, I never got a picture with all of you, but I will miss each and every one of you greatly!  You taught me so much, and <3.

I can't find a good picture of me and Chris, so I'll just have to use a picture of me and Natalie instead.  Thanks for not hating me after I was the meanest shift manager/trainer ever.  You will do great!!!
