Big Weekend :)

I'm sitting in the living room floor with my computer in my lap because Goodwill came by today and took my couch and my coffee table. Only two more days in Abilene. It's so bittersweet. I have that lump in my throat like just before you cry, but I'll try to save my tears for tomorrow. I am so excited about having a real job with real patients and a real paycheck. I'm excited about living with my sister and my brother in law. I'm just sad because I don't want to leave my friends at all. I know I'll come back to visit as often as I can, but there's nothing like the spur of the moment movie nights or just driving around town at night when we can't sleep. I'm also going to miss all of my classmates who have become more like family throughout the past year. I saw them all day 4 days a week...way more than I got to see my family. I think they seem like family to me because we went through everything together...all the stresses of school, and all the joys that came when we passed comp exams.
Anyway, my parents will be here in Abilene by noon tomorrow and Erin and Graham will be here around 5. We have such a busy day! I have rehearsal for graduation in the morning, then a hair appointment, more packing, actual graduation, then dinner. My mom, dad, sister, brother in law, Becky, Ben, Josh, and I are all going out to Buffalo Gap to eat at Perini's ranch after the ceremony. Perini's is named the 2nd best steakhouse in Texas, but I've never been, so I'm really excited to try it! Then, Saturday is the big moving day. I'm hoping that the storms will hold out till Sunday but that's doubtful! I'm so lucky and blessed to have my family and my best friends here this weekend. It wouldn't be the same without them! I better go to bed so I can be well rested for the next two days. I'll blog again once I get settled into my new apartment in Waco.
