Almost There

I can't believe today is my last day in Los Angeles for a while. There's been so much going on the past few weeks between finishing up at work, my birthday, and some important visitors that I haven't really had time to process the fact that I'm actually leaving. It finally start to hit me last week and I've been experiencing a wide range of emotions. I found myself very sad about leaving my job (mainly the people that I work with), it still doesn't feel real. Walking out on Friday night just felt like I was leaving for the weekend or a vacation. I think it will be another few weeks before it really sinks in. I'm also getting very sad about leaving my kitties and the comfort of my apartment for the unknown.

I'm finally finishing my packing  and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with myself for fitting everything into one (albeit one very huge) suitcase.

I love my shoes and all my fun clothes, but I'm pretty much leaving everything here. I'm not even bringing any heels.

I had a fun going away party Saturday night and I had a great last night and meal out with my girls last night.

I'm so lucky to have such amazing people in my life. Having their love and support helps to remind me that I'm doing the right thing by going on this trip. This is going to be a once in a lifetime experience and I hope that I'll be able to stay in the moment while I'm there and not think about the future or what I'll be doing when I get back. I do know I have a great group of people to come back to and that's enough for me.
