.5 weeks.

.its starting to settle in. i am starting to realize that in 5 weeks, we are packing up, driving 12 hours, and calling it "home" for the next 2 years at least. dont get me wrong, i am SO READY to have a place of our own, to really fill married.... however, i am realizing the "home" i am leaving, that I have had for 21 years of my life. i have NEVER moved in my life...to most moving i have had, across the hallway to a room of my own. i am pretty scared to be honest, i know i will have my home-sickness at 21, its totally normal. 

.andrew laughs at me. he thinks its silly that i am going to get emotional about leaving my mom, my dad, my dog, my house, my washington weather, my washington air, my well water, my kirby family, my church kids, my church "family... and the list goes on. but he has moved almost every year of his life, so he said, he is use to it.

.i am excited to have our "own" place, to decorate our place (CHEAP)... i have enjoyed making purchases from good will, and having to sand it down, and paint it, and call it my own, knowing i didnt spend 100 dollars, but more like 20. 

.i am scared, nervous, and will definitely have a breakdown when i have to say bye, but i also excited to start a place of my own, with my hubby :)
