Weather: Sunny, partly cloudy.
So here I am, sitting here at Newark Airport, waiting to embark on what will likely become on of the greatest adventures of my life. It's about 5:20pm now, and my flight doesn't leave until 8:55pm, so I've still got a good, long time to wait. I can't wait to get on the plane, get my pillow and blanket, and get some rest for what will, undoubtedly, be a very busy day tomorrow.
Mom and I finished packing last night about 3:00am. We were able to get everything, including my bedding (except my comforter) into those two LL Bean bags that Ted got me for graduation. And I was even able to keep them underweight so that I didn't have to pay any fees.
It's a beautiful day in Newark today. Some puffy clouds, but it's clear and sunny anyway. Likely one of my last glimpses of the sun in a while if that weather forecast is right. We'll see!
This morning wasn't as difficult as I feared it might be. We got up early and were out of the house by about 8:45am. We stopped by Cracker Barrell in order for my mom to buy me one of those angels (which she will mail to me). Then we got breakfast at Arby's (Chicken Biscuits are good!) and headed on down to Louisville, where we met Laura and had some coffee at Starbucks before I went through security. Mom called me about 5 minutes after I got to the gate. It was hard to leave her, but it makes it a lot better that she has vonage now and we'll be able to talk as often as we like. Dad was better at hiding it, but I think he was equally emotional. Myself, I'll be very glad to get to Derry tomorrow and get some much needed rest!
PS: The flight from Louisville to Newark was good but bumpy! Lots of "little" turbulence.
