So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight...
In a short 8 hours I will be in the car on my way to DC for orientation. Ill have a day and a half of orientation then catch a flight out early on Thursday and be in the DR by 2pm! I am completly packed and ready, at least I think I am, to go. I am definitely anxious. I am going to miss everyone so much, but knowing how supportive you all have been has and will continue to make this transition easier. I said goodbye to my neighbors yesterday, a family I hold very close to my heart, and Luke (he is 3) kept telling me "I want to go on a jet plane with you. I dont want to stay here." And I just got an email from the Cardarelli's, the family I babysat during the fall, saying one of their boys asked if I was taking a train and when Jodi said no an airplane, he asked "Like Jay-Jay?" (Gotta love Thomas and Friends). I love the things children say!
For now I must clean up my room (just for you Laura!) and pretend to get some sleep.
I love you all. Talk to you next time from the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC!!

Leah,
Today I went to lunch with Karen and right before we were finished, she gave me a surprise. My very first pair of stripes!!! She said she had been saving one of her shirts for me because she knew my time would come. I was really touched! I came home and tried on the shirt and it was perfect and so exciting! I just thought to myself "I really wish Leah could see this"...but I'm following in your footsteps and although I have some big shoes to fill, I only hope I can be half the OPA you were! You're amazing! May you always bleed purple!
Ww miss you sweetie! Tico and Deuce are looking fo your warm lap. I am so excited for your grand adventure - your smile is just going to add so much to the DR sunshine. Mail is on the way! Love, Mom
so the BMG music interview was bad, definitely not a job I want. Next interview thursday so far, but I need to work on that tomorrow. Just got back from South Carolina for a fraternity thing and they apologized for the bad weather, it was in the 40's. When I left NYC it was 14 and snow/ice covered. I put some in a box and threw it into the river with your name on it, in case you want to show them what a snowball looks like.
Leah,
You are by far the most amazing person I have ever met and I can't describe the change you made in my life. I just received a package in the mail; a package that means more to me than anything I've ever received before: Your Stripes. I pulled them out, hugged them to my chest, and cried a little. I really wish you could be here with me in person, but if all I can have are your stripes, I will wear them with pride and know that you are with me in spirit. I've got my cowboy hat ready as well. I love you girl...I can't wait to hear from you! Godspeed and know that I am always here for you!
