Last Day

Today is winding down for me, and that means the end of my Illinois Legislative Staff Intern Program. It's been a challenging, interesting, memorable, educational, and overall good year. The experience I had is unlike any other and I'm truly honored that it was something I was chosen for. The people I met and worked with were nothing short of absolutely wonderful, and I feel like throughout the year we became good friends, not just co-workers or co-interns. I really will miss them.

With that said, it's off to Austin in less than 48 hours! I cannot believe it! A year ago, it was something that seemed so far away, and now it's here. I really cannot express how much I'm going to miss my Mom and Dad and other family, because I get rather teary when I get into it and think about it, but at the same time, I'm so excited to start something new! I've handled so much in my life and gone through so many changes, that I know I'm prepared to face this new part of my life and whatever comes with it. So we will see how it goes!

Tim is on his way to Champaign now. Tomorrow we load up and leave early Sunday morning. I'll be sure to include pictures (if I take them), and do an update post sometime next week when I've arrived and settled some.

Are you ready for me, Austin?!
