Tonight, with my family and friends I celebrated both my birthday and leaving on my adventure to Spain in 7 days. As I sit down after being surrounded by such great people I can't help but shed a few little tears... but happy tears.
This past summer has been one filled with many changes and obstacles for several people that I love dearly. It has had its ups and downs but as the warm days wind down in the small town of Hilmar for me I am noticing how perfectly things are falling into place. I can finally say it is just my time to take a step of my bubble.
I leave knowning I have incredible family and friends that will pray endlessly for my safety, continue to love me dearly and even more importantly support along this adventure. Tonight I was reminded of how much love can be poured out for one person. It is a fabulous feeling.
I am just so, so amazed and thankful.
About a month ago as many of you may have known, my bestfriend Karly was sent to her heavenly home. A month ago I was bitter, confused, and in a guilty state of mind from what I thought was a loss. During the past few days with the help of her presence, I am reassured that I can embark on this adventure with Karly still right by my side. I have not forgoten nor have I loved her any less I am just ready to accept her presence in a different format.
To Spain I go with my bestfriend still in tow!
