College Station

Had some last snuggles with this dude. I love him so much and leaving the pups for this long is hard and definitely something I’ve had to leave in the Lord’s hands (and Caitlin’s).

Breaking a foot was a terrible way to get this journey going but again putting it in the Lord’s hands. I’m pretty nervous about travel but also trust Him.

Also today has been extremely emotional. Leaving people for this long feels really hard especially with exciting changes (Lindsey getting engaged and people moving) and sad events (Heyden being a crappy friend and people moving).

Today, as I sat emotional on my drive up, I suddenly found myself listening to this song and jamming and just realized that while I’m glad I let myself feel my feelings, it’s time to move on. There are things to do and love to be lived. When comparing all of these things to the reality of the gospel, there is just so much joy to be had and I want to live in it.

Excited to figure out life tomorrow and fly to Jordan!!

At the airport!!!

My car AC went out on the way here so that was crappy but I’m here and made it through security. I’m hope getting on the plane and flying there won’t be a huge problem but here we go!

Also the people who run the flight check-in must get more manipulative stories than teachers I swear!!!

Thank God my layover was in a Spanish speaking country because I don’t know that I could’ve done all of this handicap stuff in a language I didn’t know at least a little. Spain Spanish is a little different but I’m making it. Everyone here has also been so kind which has been incredible.

This is technically day 3 but it feels like day 1 because I’m finally in another country!!! The reality and excitement of going has set in and while I’m tired, I’m also buzzed on this excitement.

I got entire row on the flight because it was like half empty which “never happens”, kind of like my broken foot (people “never” break that bone). I’m feeling like this is going to be a trip of “never happens” and I’m for it even if it means things might be a little crazy and hard.

I’m having an amazing lunch of some fish that started with an M at a place called La Mary. I just honk I would love Spain!
