Only 28 more days until I am in Aberdeen!

 It has already been a crazy month of change.  I put in my notice at my job, which feels weird.  I haven’t been unemployed since I was 15.  It felt strange turning in all of my equipment.  On my last day of work it felt like a normal day, I had to force myself to say goodbye to everyone.  I don’t think it has completely hit me that I will be leaving and not seeing these people for at least a year if not longer.  At least I have a going away party to have fun and enjoy my time with those I care about before I leave. 

I hit one bump in the road regarding a loan this past week.  There was a mistake on my credit report which caused a denial on one of my student loans.  I was in a panic trying to fix the issue this week, but I am so excited to say that it only took two days and an appeal!  I recieved my loan again after showing the issue had been fixed.  I couldn’t believe it was taken care of so fast.  Thank goodness it was because I was extremely stressed out and I didn’t want to have my weekend ruined with worry.  Let me tell you though, I hate dealing with credit card companies. 

Everything else is coming together.  I purchased my plane ticket for a great deal!  I couldn’t believe how cheap it was considering.  Unfortunately I will have to fly out of Seattle, but it’s only 4.5 hours away.  Could be worse.   I also purchased a new digital camera so I will be able to take beautiful photos to show you all. 

For the next few weeks I just plan on hanging out with family and friends and figuring out how to pack for a year. 

I hope all of you are well,

Caitlin
