So moving time is finally here. Time to start a new chapter in my life, chapter 6 as a matter of fact (ch 1 – birth, ch 2 – elementary school, ch 3 – high school, ch 4 – WVU, ch 5 – Chicago).
Anyways, everything’s packed and ready to go. EXCELLENT Parting Party on Friday! Sorry I missed some of you... I’m so glad everyone else showed and had such a great time. Although, it was a little hard to get up the next morning and move all the boxes & furniture into the Penske Truck. BUT that also went smoothly as a group of the most helpful friends chipped in and we were done in about an hour and a half. I said my goodbyes and shed some tears but it still didn’t really seem real until I hopped behind the wheel. It was so hard to actually drive away and leave, I left my apt, my home of 4 years, my family in Indi, my roommates, and worst of all, some of the greatest friends ever! I guess now is the time it all comes to reality. I didn’t think I’d be chokin back the tears for the 1st 5 hours of the trip. Pulling away from my hood and seeing the Chicago skyline get smaller and smaller, started it all. I just kept thinking of all the great memories. the countless minutes and hours of cornfields. Every song on the radio was sad in some way. My best bets were some old school rap and hard core alternative. Then Iowa came and gone, as well as Nebraska and that’s where we needed a break in Cozad, the 100th Meridan “where East meets West.” I'm exhausted, that is all I can say for now. I probably should be happy and excited but all I really want to do it re-read chapter 5… yes it was THAT good!
