looking back......

4 months, it has been only 4 short months since I graduated. At first I though graduation would never come but it did and it was nerve wrecking. Then summer and I thought summer would never end, well more like I didn't want it to. I got to spend most of July with Kelly which made it AWESOME. But then we hit august and everyone went off the school and I didn't which was weird and I was kind of bored. I thought August would never end. Then it did and everything was going SO SO fast. It was September 1st, then it was the 2nd, then the 3rd which meant three days left till I got on a plane but I got to spend it with Jay. He and I never really get to spend time alone but it was a 2 hr car ride each way so it was good. Then the next morning Ryan biked to my house to give me a hug goodbye. He ended up coming to chickfila with us and going to class with Sarah. Then we dropped Jay and Peter off at school and we were off to Atl. While in Atl we found out Nathan is afraid of the BIG window aquariums, I think he thinks we are drowning. Also we went to flip burger which was just AMAZING. Then went to the hotel. The next morning BRIGHT and early Dad dropped me off at the airport, since he can't go through security. That is when it hit me. I am really going, going to Madagascar. But I didn't mind any of the plane rides. I made it so jetlag wouldn't kill me. But what did help is I knew as soon as I landed in Madagascar my Uncle would be waiting for me. He was waiting for me along with a driver but I was filling out a missing bag report. But Uncle Colin was there. Even after he left I still felt safe because I knew God had me, my driver was coming at 6:30am breakfast was included, and I knew I would make my flight I just did. Even though once I got to the airport I was a bit confused it was okay. I got on the right plane and when I landed my Aunt, Uncle, Cousins, and Andi were all right there waiting for me. I have only been here exactly 2 weeks but it feels like I have been here forever. I just wish I spoke French or Malagasy. Then everything would be perfect. But I can't wait to see what God does through this trip and how it will impact the rest of my life.
