you aren’t REALLY leaving until you buy the ticket
28 Mar 2004

Good evening everyone, Someone told me “well, you aren’t REALLY leaving until you buy the ticket.” So, I did. My flight leaves from Dallas on May 5th. I was thinking about when I get on the plane. I would like to be able to get on the plane, take off, & not look back, but I’ve never been that kind of person. I know I’ll look back. That’s the way I am with relationships. I have a hard time letting go. I’ll remember what supportive friends and loving family I have and I’m going to miss you guys. But I also know that I’m going to have a really good time being a nomad for a while. Not knowing where I’m going to end up excites me. It’s a big blank slate that I’m free to write all over. Will I just make scribbles or will I write something cool? Ha ha ha. Knowing me, I’ll be scribbling like a 3 year old, but trying to make it look like a Monet. Anyway, maybe I’m just amusing myself, but it’s nice to get all of these thoughts out. I’m looking forward to you guys being able to see all of this stuff on the website. I hope you all can make it to the party that Gina is throwing for me. Gina has been a savoir helping me with all sorts of details that have been clogging my mind and she has volunteered to host the party. I’m thrilled because she is a great hostess and I know it will be fun. Must run for now. Sincerely, -Amy
