It's happening.

well today it happened... I cried. For the first time it really hit me, I am leaving Jackson and I am never coming back. Yesterday I took everything off of my walls in my bedroom. For some reason it seemed like a logical place to start. Considering I have never moved out of anywhere in my life I am kind of new at this whole thing. My family has lived in the same house my whole life. The tornado moved blew me out of my dorm room. And my parents so politely moved all my stuff from my home bedroom into the basement while I was away at school. So I have never had to do this.. but it is coming along. After I got it all off the walls I realized it is never going back up. This place I lived for the past 3 years will soon belong to someone else. They won't know the memories made here. That is sad. They won't know that the microwave will burn popcorn if you don't open the bag in the middle of popping (that took me about a year to figure out). And they won't know that there are little tacks that stick up in the carpet and hurt really bad if you step on them. I wish I could tell them all of this, what a horribly special place this is. I feel like today might be the first tears of many that will come when I realize all the goodbyes that are soon taking place.

So yes I am a little emotional. Partly because in a mere 11 hours my dream of marrying Prince William will be crushed by Princess Kate! Partly because "You're gonna miss this" keeps playing on the radio. And partly because I am having two more BOY cousins.... I was just sure they were girls, but I will love them anyway. (Even though I have not ruled out gender reconstructive surgery for them, I just need their mom to agree)

And Lastly, I wish Princess Diana was still alive... I am really sad about that one.
