Good morning all,
I left Texas yesterday flying from Austin to Dallas and then to Philadelphia. We got up pretty early to catch our 8:40AM flights. Everything went smooth, but man it was hard to say goodbye!!! My mom, Ryan's dad, and my friend Rose went to see us off, and I'm glad they did! I really enjoyed their support, even though my mom didn't want me to leave she was still supporting me! :) Love you mom! So I got into my hotel around 6PM and then meet up with about 20 people and we all went out to dinner. It was exciting, because now I feel like this is really happening!! It is such a surreal feeling, and I already miss Ryan, lame I know :) I will see him soon though. So here I am this morning, fixing to go eat lunch and then to staging, which lasts until 7PM! We will see what its all about. Here are some pics from our going-away party (and one hanging out with the Carlile's), which by the way was AMAZING! So much fun! Talk with everyone soon when we land in Manila, Philippines!!! I also want to say a huge THANK-YOU to everyone for all of your support, love, and prayers! We really appreciate it, and it will make a hug difference in our adventure in the Philippines. Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you, and I will miss everyone ALOT. You will constantly be in my thoughts; love you :) :) :)
