All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go!

Well, here it is. My last blog published from Illinois. I have 23 hours left until the plane takes off from O'Hare. It is very surreal, I have been waiting for this for so long, and now it is finally here. I am leaving for freaking Africa!!!!! :-) I don't think I have gotten a good nights sleep in awhile. I feel like I am a little kid again, and every night has been the night before Christmas. The only bad part is saying goodbye. Even though, I know it is just, I'll see you later, it is a goodbye, and I suck at goodbyes. However, I know that this is exactly where I am suppose to be. So goodbye friends, I love you all!
