| Only about 14 days until I am back in Eau Claire! I am so excited to get in and settled and on with things. I miss it!

| I just got an email from my dad saying that things back at the homefront have not been good. For starters, my beloved dog is having seizures, and it sounds like she might pass away before I get back. I know she's just a dog, but she's been a part of our family for more than 14 years, so she is definitley loved and will be very missed. I worry my parents will be very lonely without both me and Amber, and the house will be very quiet.
More importantly, my dad also told me that my cousin took his own life just a few days ago. He was just a bit older than me, and aparently just couldn't cope. His mum and dad are Pat and Dolores, and he has two younger brothers, Joe and Eric, so if you could pray for them and for my mum's whole family during this trying time. The family is Catholic and I hope that they turn to God, but I also fear that they will feel unecessary guilt and shame in this situation.
Thank you all for your prayers and support.

|    Just wanted to share a few pictures! This is my room and the hall outside my room, where all my belongings are slowly being packed, stacked, and organized in some hopeful fashion. I fly out tomorrow for England and am all packed for that, but still have a lot to do before taking off to Eau Claire. But I have to tell you, I can't wait!! I'm so excited for this trip, and then to get up there and settle in and have my own space again and be back! Yay!!!
Just wanted to share my enthusiasm! Miss you all and see you in less than a month! | | |
| 4 days left of work.
7 days until I fly over the pond.
30 days until I'm back in Eau Claire. So many adventures to come,
memories to make,
lessons to learn. "Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."
-Proverbs 19:21 | | |
| So I officially signed my lease today! Sarah and I have an apartment on the south side of town off Golf Road. (Per the advice of Amy, I have not posted the specific address.) I will be moving in the first weekend of February after my expedition back to England to see my friends. Today at work it was starting to hit me; that I only have a few days left there, that I'm going on an awesome long vacation soon, that my hope to move back to Eau Claire is actually really happening, and soon. It all still feels fake though, all the way back to graduation. Doesn't feel like any of it really happened, like I could wake up and it could be last year. Before Simon's mom got sick, before spring break, before graduation, LT, this fall, before all of it. Sometimes it all just seems like a story I heard somewhere.
