Did I mention I hate flying?!

Tomorrow is the big day....FINALLY!!!!

This week as been extremely stressful. I've done so many last minute shopping runs that I'm sick of going to the store. Yesterday and today were probably the worst though because the real packing began. I am not a very good packer, I never know what I want to take because there are so many situations you could find yourself in and I want to be prepared for all of them. I have to constantly remind myself that it's not possible to be prepared for every event, there are way too many unknowns. Also, I had to change my return date, so instead of coming home on the 21st of May I'll be home on the 22nd. I guess that having to change that was actually a good thing because now I might be going to Tuscany for the last week of my trip (can't complain about that)!

Something I wasn't expecting to happen this week were the nerves I've been feeling, I thought I would have absolutely no problem with leaving but in reality I'm actually really nervous and a little sad. I'm really going to miss my family and friends while I'm gone. I know I'm going to have a blast while I'm there but it's definitely going to be an adjustment. Good news is I'll have email, skype, facebook, and of course this blog. I don't know how often I'll get to be on but every little bit will be great. Also, if anyone would like my address while I"m there just ask and I can get it to you also if you would like postcards or anything like that I'd really like for people to give me their addresses!

By for the hardest thing about this trip is the flying, I absolutely hate flying! For the last couple of days I have been alittle bit of a mess just thinking about it. I have a million butterflies in my stomach everytime I think about it!!! Thankfully my doctor was kind enough to give me some medicine to calm the nerves plus I am flying with Cassi so I won't be alone, I don't know what I would do if I were going by myself!

Anyway,no matter how terrified I am I still have to fly to get there so here is what my schedule looks like for tomorrow:

                 I leave at 10:15am from the Tulsa airport to Atlanta
                 Atlanta to JFK
                 Then JFK to Prague, landing there at 9:40am on the 28th

Oh and something that made my day today was a picture my sister drew for me...
