What can I say other than it was a bit stressful?

It's here....

I don't think I realized the magnitude of what I am doing until today.  I'm leaving tomorrow and while I am more than ready I'm having a difficult time this morning.  I know I am suppose to serve a mission but that knowledge doesn't make it any easier to leave my family for the great unknown.  I want you all to know that I KNOW this church is true.  I'm grateful to Joseph Smith for having the courage to pray as he did.  I'm grateful for modern day prophets and apostles.  I love the Book of Mormon and the knowledge we can get from it.  I most especially grateful to my family.  I couldn't have handled the last few months without their love and support.  I am going to miss them terribly but am firm in the knowledge that they will be all right.  Thank you all for your friendship, love, and support.  It will be a short 18 months until I see you again. 

Down to the wire...

Ahh! Time is definitely flying by!  I'm pretty much ready to go (other than packing) and mentally ready to begin this journey.  Mom tells me I was ready a few weeks ago... Guess I've been a bit irritable.  ;)  I'm grateful for the time I've had to prepare myself physically, mentally, and spiritually to serve-it's been a real learning experience for me.  I've learned so much about myself since I first got my call.  Most important of which is that I can do anything with the Lord's help.  I've had some major ups and downs emotionally the last few months but KNOW that I can do this.  It's going to be a great 18 months and I'll be back (harassing you all) before you know it.  Onward and upward....
