I started packing last night. It felt weird to be putting so many things in storage knowing I wouldn't see them again for over two years. I think that it is finally starting to sink in that I am leaving. 9 days to go...
I started to wonder if my family and friends would think about me (I sure they will), if I would make friends or be a loner, if I would be able to handle the upcoming changes or if I would cry like a baby on the plane (probably both). As I was sitting amidst my 50 pairs of shoes trying to decide if I was going to take my hot pink Converse I remembered a quote that I read in a book my twin sister gave me.
When we leave this earth
we can not take with us what we have received
but only what we have given
Saint Francis
It made me feel a little bit better.

Hi Baby, it looks great. Much like yourself, I can never have too many shoes!
Have a safe trip, Shannon. I'm sorry I didn't get to see you again before you left. Be sure to keep us posted!
Hi Shannon,
This is your great Aunt Leola, do you remember me?
Ruthie sent me your web page...I have to say that you are a VERY funny girl in your writings. I really enjoyed reading it, and still have more to go.
My foster son Darrell is writing this for me as I know nothing about computers or sending email...Please feel free to respond using his email address as he is here staying with me now.
I hope this finds you well and may God Bless you hopefully clothed and dry and not wet and naked...HAHA
With Love,
Aunt Leola
