Ready to leave?

Although I've had several months to get adjusted to the idea of moving to California, now that the big day is almost here I suddenly feel like I'm not ready. The reality of the move didn't actually hit me until after my going-away party. That night I realized that soon I would be leaving behind the place I have called my home for the past 10 years and many people about whom I care. I realize now that I really will miss Missouri, or at least all the people I am leaving behind. I have been itching to leave Missouri since I moved here in '98, but I never pictured that I would move to California. After visiting California two years ago I thought it would never even be a possibility for me to move there. Yet, here I am, two days away from moving. I guess that just goes to show that sometimes God has plans for our lives that we cannot forsee.

All my things have been shipped off to California and are set to arrive there on Wednesday or Thursday. I will be leaving bright and early Monday morning with my parents in my Mustang to make the long drive in two days so that we beat my stuff. As of Wednesday, I will be moving into my California apartment. All of this seems very surreal to me. I don't think that I will actually believe I'm moving there until I get on the road and start moving into my apartment. Then after I move in, I'll have a couple of weeks to get settled before school starts.

My whole life is about to change! I'm anxious to discover what God has planned for me in California!
