The first day of the rest of my life...

Today is Thursday, March 1, 2012.  It is not an exaggeration to say that today feels like the first day of the rest of my life.

I BOUGHT THE TICKET FOR HONDURAS!!!  I gave my 2 weeks' notice at work.  I froze my membership at the gym.  And hardest of all, I called my awesome landlord to say I won't be living here anymore.  That part sucked.  I am not fully funded yet, but I have faith I will get there.

Today work felt awesome.  Even when they were being annoying, I realized that soon I will no longer be spending the majority of my life with these crazy boys.  It made me appreciate them more.  I'll miss my boss, Matt.  We worked together for four years.  At a job like ours, it's so nice to work with someone you can really rely on and trust.  Nurses, custodians, even the CEO are all happy for me.  They've been hearing me talk about moving to Honduras for over 2 years.  Now it is finally happening!

Got appointments lined up for the next two weeks with my Dr, Dentists, Opthomalogist, and even an orthopedic surgeon.  Sure hope my shoulder doesn't need surgery.  Cause in my new life I won't have health insurance.  Health insurance in a Gringo thing.

I've started to think in Spanish again, which feels nice.  It's like my brain is anticipating the upcoming change.  I can't wait to see the apartment Karla has picked out for me.  I can't wait for my first church service at La Iglesia en Transformación.  I can't wait to be ON THE PLANE, flying away to my new life.

Don't get me wrong.  My life here in the states is wonderful.  I am so blessed with friends, opportunity, my family, and a beautiful home in a GORGEOUS place.  But this isn't everything that I am supposed to be.  I can't wait to get back to Honduras and feel fully alive again.  To feel like I am really me, being true to myself.  Right now I feel like I am doing my best to make the most of each day, but it's not quite. right.  Soon it will be right again.  I'm going back to Honduras!!!!  Yay!!!!!!
