The day before

Well here we are, one day away from THE day! I'm sorry I haven't written anything during the past month, I've been too busy preparing and spending time with friends and family. I also haven't been at work, which means that I don't have access to the internet every day. Yes, I finally have a family in Spain. They have a daughter my age, well 17, and a son who is 11. I actually talked to the daughter today on MSN Messenger, which was awesome. I kept checking my Gmail account to see if there would be any email, but she sent one to my hotmail account, and so I just got it today and decided to see if she was online. She seemed really nice, so I'm not worried about the family anymore. She said she would see to it that I have a good time there.
I packed most of the day yesterday and when I had stuffed everything into a big black bag, the same one logan took on his mission, I realized I still had my toiletries bag as well as shoes and some pants left out.....We'll see what we can do about that today.
I said goodbye to Jon and Jordan yesterday who will be leaving on their missions, Portugal and New Zealand respectively, before I get back, so I won't be seeing them for two years. It is kind of wierd to think of your friends going on missions. You always think about older people going, but I guess I'm getting old now.
Tomorrow I leave mom and dad on their own to redo their bathroom/room. I don't know how they're going to do that, they'll have to hire some help from neighbors or something, now that I'm not there to help hold things up while mom decides how things look from afar. I think they'll get along somehow. Well, wish me luck! Next time you hear from me I'll be (hopefully) happily situated in Spain. Much love to all!

We hope you make a safe and successful trip to Spain. Good to hear that you have a family to pick you up and give you a place to stay there. We were getting a little worried. I'm sure your parents will miss you while you are gone. They will get the practice of being empty nesters. We'll be thinking of you. Much love.

Hahaha, mom always does need somebody to hold stuff up on the walls for her to assess. Tip: on the way home, don't wear that bottle cap belt on the plane. Hasta luego.
