goodbye

goodbye virginia

it's been such a bittersweet time the last few days. it's sad to leave virginia, this will be the last time i'll see it for a very long time, probably years. i'm going to miss everything about this place so much. but i know we're all leaving for good reasons. at the same time i'm so excited and ready to start all the big adventures and plans ahead in the next few months. i leave for utah today, and then it's off to switzerland right after that! it's going to be a great summer.

p.s. blogger keeps deleting my posts on it's own, is this happening to anyone else? hopefully this one isn't next.
