So, I've decided to blog! yay! Maybe it won't take long for me to get used to it. I don't know. I like the idea of people whom I love reading about my days in yet another foreign country. What can I say? My life is pretty exciting! I thank the Lord for blessing me with opportunities and an enjoyable job. He is pretty nice :)
Tonight is my last night in my apartment in Miami... I am definitely going to miss it considering I love going on walks around it and it almost felt like yet another home away from home to me. I think I have way too many homes away from home. I think I just probably don't have a home at all, wouldn't you say? My citizenship is in Heaven and I am thankful for that. I have to admit, though, this home away from home in Miami is nice! I love the TV in my bedroom and just being at a familiar place after long days at work.
Anyway... I am supposed to be packing. I have little left compared to how much I had when this journey began in Greenville. I only have 3 suitcases to take to Mexico, so I have no choice but to fit all my stuff in the three suitcases. That sucks because I tend to deceive myself and think I need 10 boxes when I really needed more like 20 of them. But oh well, right? I can't change that now because I am car-less and can't run out to get another bag at a store -besides I pretty much get lost by walking inside the apartment building... can you imagine trying to find a store to buy a bag? No, thanks. I'd rather go ahead and sacrifice some of my much not needed attire.
On a different note, as I write I think about my dear friends... I miss Laura Beth and Sheley and Roslyn and Esther and Lyndsay and Valeria... God has blessed me with AMAZING, out-of-this-world friends, but it's hard when we are so far away. Sometimes I think I just want to get a big house and ask everyone to move in and then we could be roommates again and we could have so much fun together again (yes, you could bring your husbands if you really, really wanted to -I guess). And maybe we could also have some arguments -even though those were quite rare, maybe even non-existent. I can't even recall one right now. Maybe I have selective memory. Anyway... I love my girls. I wouldn't trade them for anything!
Okay, so I guess I need to go back to packing! I have to finish doing laundry, too. Oh, my! This whole "having an apartment" thing is too much work :) Anyway, I better get going for tonight and try to keep some energy for future blogging. Hopefully, I'll be diligent.
I'll try to keep you posted!

Tere!! I'm so happy to read your post! I miss you too, but when I look in my heart and at my photos and in my memory, I feel so near to you. Can't wait to see Chile and your parents and Mexico through your blog.
Tere!!! Welcome to blogging! I have the same feeling as you about having the best friends anyone could want, but being so far from them (you). The Lord deal with us mercifully while we are apart. You are always in my prayers.
