Packing Up

Well we only have a few more days left here in Utah and so we have a ton of stuff to do! Between getting all our stuff together and trying to see family and friends one last time before we go we are completely booked! It's kinda crazy that it is here now. A couple of weeks ago it seemed like it would never come, now I wish it was further away. Don't get me wrong, I know that what we are doing is the right thing, and we will both learn and grow so much from this experience, but there are so many things that I am going to miss about Utah. Here are the things at the top of the list:

1. My Family--Every time I think about how we are leaving them I start to leak (aka. cry) I can't stand the thought of them making Sunday dinner without me, playing games without me, or growing up at all without me. Totally sucks to leave them. I absolutely hate that part.

2. Nate's Family--They have been so good to us and have become such an integral part of our lives that it will be weird not to have them around.

3. Our Friends--Nate and I have some really good friends that we've had here and it's going to be hard to find anyone who remotely compares in Chicago.

4. My sister and my mom--My family won't like that these two get shout outs, but honestly aside from my husband they are my very best friends. They have always been there for me and I honestly don't know how I'm going to make it without them. Good thing there is cell phones and email. Gosh dang. I wish I could just take them with me as carry-ons!

5. Living with Randy--Randy has been so good to us as we've lived with him for the past year and it will definitely be weird not to live with him anymore--Who is going to keep our fridge stocked up with milk 24/7?

6. The Mountains--We will definitely miss them looming over us always.

7. Happy Sumo--The cheapest, most delicious sushi in Utah. Join their VIP membership and you can get rolls half off on most tuesdays throughout the month. I hope we find a steal this good in chi-town.

8. Our families.

9. Moab--I know Nate is going to miss this place bad! We tried to get one more trip in before we left but it just didn't happen. He will be sorry about that later.

10. Extended Families--It will be weird not to have people that we can rely on living around us. I know it will be a hard to be away from everybody.

11. Our families.

12. Our families.

13. Our families.

14. Our families.

15. Our families.

16. Our families.

17. Our families.

18. Our families.

19. Our families.

20. Our families.

I don't really know what we are going to do without our families. Shit. What did we get ourselves into? Is it too late to turn back. I don't want to be without them. I don't want to be without them.
