Gearing up for Goodbye

As soon as Lucy woke me up this morning I couldn't get back to sleep because my mind was turning with things I had to do. I immediately went downstairs and made a to-do list. And since 8am this morning I have completed approximately 0 things!! Ugh I don't know what is wrong with me :( I have also been on the verge of tears all day. Everything has been so hectic the last few months that I've had a million things on my mind and keeping me busy except for me. I think now that the chaos is over I am finally facing the realization and magnitude of what the next week will hold. I am not questioning my decision I am just letting it fully sink in. So many people have told me that they are inspired by what I'm doing or think it's brave and I haven't really seen that... until now. It really is amazing to think that as of next Monday I will be all alone in a new town where I know one person. I know this is going to be such a good experience for me. It will be one of growth and relearning. It's such a blessing to be given the opportunity to start over in life.
I think I'm just mourning my old life today and I am going to allow that. But tomorrow it's back to that list :)

Awwww, Becky. You're so cute. Just take a breath and work that list down. Then smile all the way to your new 'home'.....you know it won't really be a home, because Oregon is your home! ;-) We'll miss you, even those of us that don't see you much. All your friends here are going to be so jealous when you start making 'new' friends! ;-)

Mickey Becky,

You are so brave! It will only be a matter of moments before you meet new friends, your smile is contagious and you have a magnetic personality and everyone who meets you loves you....
Remember when your mom would make us surprise Friday lunches...During the summer your mom packed two brown bags full of snacks and we had to carry it out to the spider in the greenway before we could open the bag. I remember being so excited and the anticipation was beyond control. Think of your new adventure kind of like that... once you get there, and open up yourself and allow people to get to know you...the possibilities are endless. You're going to thrive!!!
keep this blog updated! you're awesome....
