Day 72

My bags are all packed. Everything made it into the car. The alarm is set to go off in about an hour and a half. And I'm busy doing all of the things that I've been doing for so long. Cuddling up to my sister, rubbing her fuzzy head, holding her hand, and for a few minutes sleeping. I won't be doing those things every day anymore. And I think the separation anxiety is getting to me. Yes...I'm going back to school.

I never thought I would have had an apartment with my big sister. We've lived over here with each other for six months now. And I've loved being able to spend this time with her. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

My first day of school is Monday, which I THOUGHT was a holiday...I guess when you pay for school they can do that. And I have class at 8am. I'm thrilled about that. At least when I'm here I get to ride a cool bus and take somebody with me.

Anyways, I wanted to say thanks to all of you for your love and encouragement and support while we've been over here. And thanks for continuing to give that to Mary.

And thanks Mary...thanks for having me. Thanks for putting up with my disaster zone of a world some days and just letting me curl up with you for hours. And thanks for everything else, I couldn't even begin to tell you. I'm going to miss you so much. I love you lots and lots and lots big sister. I'm so glad you get to go with us to take me back to school.
