Getting Closer!

Ways I can tell my departure is drawing near:

• My stockpile of items to take with me is growing
• Events are cropping up that I won't be here for
• Time with family and friends starts to end with "Now, am I going to see you again before you go?"
• I countdown in days instead of months or weeks (23)
• I am starting to stress about everything I want to take fitting in my suitcases (So far in my experience, I always stress about this and I always fit more than I expect in the end).
• The "to-do" and "to-buy" lists are not so long

I am enjoying this weekend in Grand Rapids, off to a Tigers game tomorrow, then back to teaching summer school on Monday (which, by the way, is going very well and has been a huge blessing- gives me something else to do and think about and some extra income).
