Goodbye.

I hate saying goodbye to people. It makes my stomach hurt. When I thought about going to Florence I thought of how wonderful it would be and all the experiences I would have and all the art I would learn about. I didn't think about all of the goodbyes. It's been harder saying goodbye for this than it was saying goodbye for college two years ago. I think that's because I've allowed myself to become closer to people than my high school self did. Not that I'm still not stoked about going to Italy, it just stings a little, and I didn't prepare myself for that.

But it's just three and a half months.

This time tomorrow I will be on a plane.

Three and a half months IS quite a while. I can see how it would be sad.

Know that we love you and are praying for you.

Oh, and I'm finding myself sad, too.

Hope your traveling went well! It's strange that 24 hours ago you were half a world closer. Must be pretty sweet though!
