D-Day... well, departure day.

So... it's here. In about 3.5 hours, I'll be leaving for the airport and therefore leaving behind my life as I know it. That's really kind of scaryyyyyyy! The past week has been pretty good. I saw Catherine a few times, went to Renton River Days with my cousins, saw Salt with David (I love that child!), saw Despicable Me with Autumn and Amy, had my goodbye party (by the way, this is not in chronological order! xD) and then today my grandparents, cousins, aunt and uncle came over to help us move furniture and pack up the house and our suitcase. God, I'm going to miss all of them extremely. All of us were crying when they left and my little cousins kept asking, "Why are you guys crying?" Sigh.

We'll be going out to Ivars to eat for dinner tonight, then coming back home to finish up our packing. Our neighbors Jeanne and Danny will be driving two vehicles to transport us and our luggage to the airport at 10:30. Yes, you red that correctly, two vehicles. Hey, we're moving! We have a lot of stuff! Our flight then leaves at 2am (-ish).

So.... next time I post, I assume I'll be at the airport in Taiwan after a looooooong 12 hour flight, during our 5 hour layover there. Then it's a 2 hour flight to Guangzhou and around a 1.5 hour car (well, van in our case!) ride to out new home in Zengcheng, China.

Goodbye! I love you and and will miss you more than you can know!

<3 Emily
