How Much Are These Suitcases Supposed To Weigh?!

Wow. I feel like I could fit a few small people into my two suitcases, and yet, I seem to be running out of room and over the 40 pound weight limit. Between American food, my shoe collection, and some wool sweaters, I feel like I'm getting ready to trek across the globe! Hmmm. I'll have to work on that.

Well, today is my last day at home, and it's bittersweet. I was blessed to be able to say good-bye to a lot of the people I didn't think I would see again (til Christmas!), yet still have many good-byes I would've liked to say. If I didn't say good-bye to you at home, I'm sorry and good-bye! It's the craziest thought that I'm leaving not only all the comforts of home behind, but also all the familiarities too. It still feels like I'm packing for a vacation, and not an extended stay. I wonder when that feeling of "home" in Ireland will sink in. And I'm assuming that as soon as I start to feel at "home" in Ireland, it will be time to make yet another new "home" in Indiana! However, if that is the way life goes, then that is the way I will go.

Wish me luck with making a new home...

...and wish me luck with this whole "packing" thing. Just not my cup of tea.

Cheers!
