Although I'm excited about these changes, it hit me just a moment ago that I'm going to miss my life here.
*a silence falls over the hypothetical crowd*
Yes, I'm definitely ready to begin a new chapter, but it's hard to think that I will actually be gone in 134 days. Also, when I embark on this grand adventure, life here doesn't stop. I learned this when I visited Texas last year. Everyone back home is suddenly taller than me and has grown up so much. It was very much like visiting an alternate reality. Everything seems pretty much the same - except for little changes.
What scares me is the fact that things here will be different whenever I visit. The way that my schedule is looking at the moment, the only time I'll be coming back to North Carolina will be in December for my winter breaks. Everyone and everything I know will be one year older every time I visit. That thought is kind of hard to latch onto.

However, this whole experience will definitely be an adventure...and I'm ready for it to begin...but it may be tougher to leave than I had originally thought.
I felt the same way. I find myself missing my old life more then anything, but at the same time I would not trade this one for anything. Most of the time we have to let go of comfortable things and or places to not only grow up but to grow closer to our God. It's an awesome adventure! Enjoy every step!
