1 Week before I leave...‏

I'll be leaving a week from today for Florida : ) And the next day I will be off to Argentina! I'm so looking forward to this adventure. Preparing for Argentina has been stressful and emotional, but all worth it. I'm overwhelmed at how nice people have been about giving me information on Buenos Aires, and passing along their contacts. Everyone is so willing to help me out, it's amazing! I want to give those people so many thank you's and hugs!
I've had amazing luck. And I believe it will continue once I arrive in BA.
WHEN YOU WANT SOMETHING SO BADLY AND YOU FOCUS ON IT, YOUR STARS WILL LINE UP!

I have 3 more days left at work, it hasn't hit me yet. I will miss all the girls at PIL, they are wonderful. I've met many great friends through this place.
Top 5 Things I will miss about PIL:
5. Robyn's weekend updates and listening to her conversations with Joseph...Mami!
4. Motivational talks by Jenny
3. Conversations through the wall with Katie
2. Chit Chats in Audge's cube about life and goals...and writing on her wipe off board
1. Calling Laura every morning to check in and see what's up

You really start to appreciate your family and friends when you're about to leave. This is where the emotional part comes in. I've had 3 cry sessions so far. 2 with my mom, and 1 alone. And more to come. I have a weakness for my momma....when she cries, I cry. She doesn't want me to leave her, but I've told her this is a great experience and I'll be back. Mommas never want their children to leave. The cries have done some good though, it's a release for the emotions.

I'm excited to meet my family in Argentina. I can see the resemblances with my grandmother and her 2 siblings (who immigrated to Argentina from Croatia). It's fascinating knowing I have family in a completely different country!
