TiCk ToCk.....

So apparently Time has gone and grown itself wings because it has been FLYING by.
I have just two and a half weeks left....I cannot even describe how I am feeling but I will try- Happy, Anxious, nervous, excited, sad, stressed, calm, Giddy, and nostalgic. I think that about covers all bases.

I am so anxious to be out there doing what I have been preparing for but as I have started to say goodbye to people I have realized how much things will change while I am gone. But I say let the changes begin.

I am excited to get to go up to utah the day before and spend some time with kristen and jennifer (she was nice enough to take the day off to spend with us ) Other than kris and jen I will be saying farewell here in fresno super early tuesday morning/ monday night.

For all of you Elvis fans out there I have discovered that I will be serving in the Elvis half of tennessee apparently there are two parts to tennessee the Dolly Parton side and the Elvis side. Although 9 to 5 is one of my FAVORITE movies I am a much bigger fan of Elvis so I am quite happy. :)

In other news my baby brother turned 10 yesterday- 10? really? I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday I am not okay with this. he did not ask for permission to grow up. I remember thinking I was sooooo cool in school when I had a few friends come over to see him they all loved his orange hair and that he slept in a bassinet ( I never understood their fascination with it but they talked about it for a few weeks later) my how time really does fly.

As we are coming up on thanksgiving I thought I would let everyone ( ok the few of you that read this) know how grateful I am to live in this Land. While I am not happy with all that goes on in this country I am so blessed to live in a Land that has the freedoms I enjoy everyday. Not to say there are not things that I want to fix and people that I dont agree with in offices important to me but I love this Country. There are a MILLION other things that I am grateful for but thought I would let my patriotic side show through!

Enjoy the holiday.

Katie!!! I can't believe you are leaving so soon! I won't even be able to see you before you leave :( Oh well, I guess. Holy crow, I'm so happy for you! You're gonna do an awesome job.

Seriously, time flies. It's sick when our little siblings grow up and one day we realize how old they are. I don't know about you, but it makes me feel old, too! Eck. no no no.
