It's time...

I haven't had internet access for almost a week. I would check my email every once in awhile on my sister's finicky dumb phone. (she isn't exaggerating... that phone is frustrating!) It felt good to be "unplugged" to a point. The timing was probably not the best since I'm moving and internet is the only communication to meet up with some people since I don't have a phone. But for the most part it was nice, but weird, to be unplugged.

Anyways, I'm at the airport taking advantage of their wi-fi right now and I'm downloading the conference talks to listen to on the plane. I was able to attend the Saturday morning session and that was amazing! (And thanks to Kacy we had good seats too!)

When I left Oregon and said good-bye to my parents it didn't hit me that it was good-bye. My dad kept saying I'm going on a long vacation, as if he didn't want to use the big M-word. I thought that was funny and I may have been a snot a few times and corrected him that I'm moving. LOL But I was going to Utah with my sister just like we've done several times in the past, so I wasn't moving and that wasn't good-bye.

But, Monday morning as we were getting ready to head out for our activities I went over the schedule. "Ok, we need to pick Miriam up at 4 and then take you to the airport..... where I'll say good-bye.... to you." It started to hit me at that moment.

We had a lovely afternoon, ate lunch with Kacy at the Church Office building, walked around temple square, and found Laura the BEST vegan cupcake shop. (She was in heaven). I may have started to cry as we drove away from the airport after dropping her off.

And now it's time. I'm checked in and my 2 large bags are checked... which I wasn't charged for, but I'm not complaining! I'm not nervous. I know it's strange, but I'm very calm for this move.

The move was inspired and once I decided to move it was confirmed so strongly that there's no denying that this is right. I know it'll work out. I know I'll be taken care of, so why worry? I'm blessed with a friend in Glasgow to help me out which definitely makes this so much easier.

I don't know why I need to move, but no matter the reason I'll definitely grow from the experience. I look forward to work on my drawing and photography. I look forward to see how other people live outside of my bubble. I look forward to learning about all the great history of other countries. I look forward to work on my family history. I look forward to travel to places I never thought I'd get a chance to see. I look forward to see what the Lord has in store for me.

So I'm off!

P.S. I think I have the strangest nightmares. The other night I was tossing and turning and woke up frantic. I had a nightmare that they wouldn't let me in Scotland because I wasn't breathing right. Then I realized I was quite congested and I went to blow my nose before going back to sleep. :-)
