Getting Ready to GO!

So I leave Mankato in 4 days.  


My parents, my sister Becky, my sister Jenny and her husband Josh, my niece and two nephews all came to visit me this last weekend.  It was really great to see everyone and say good-bye, plus I got to send some stuff home with them to store, which is very helpful.  My to-do list is shrinking and growing, and I feel like I both have nothing to do and not enough time to get everything done.  


I went out to dinner last night with two of the girls, Lisa and Sara, and it was fabulous.  The food was good and I am going to miss both of those girls a lot when I leave Mankato.  There aren't many people that I'm "leaving behind" in Minnesota, but the ones that I am, it's hard to say good-bye.  


My room looks kind of creepily empty, but there's still stuff scattered everywhere.  Later today I'm going to do another round of getting rid of the things that I own.  lol.  I set up a box in the living room for my roommates to claim stuff I'm getting rid of, since it's not stuff I can take with me and it's stuff that's not worth storing for any length of time.  It's kind of nice to purge my life of material stuff, but also very difficult.  As Jenna would say, I'm very sentimental, and I attach many memories to physical possessions.  


Lisa and I went to kickboxing yesterday.  It felt great.  Now it kind of hurts.  Maybe today I'll go for a  bike ride.  I miss biking.  Or maybe a long walk.  We went on an 8 mile trek around the city last week and that was fabulous.  Yes Lisa, walking IS a form of exercise. 


4 more days .... the closer we get the faster time seems to move!
