I'm leaving on a jet plane...

I think I might have used this Peter, Paul, and Mary line as a title before, but here it is again.

In about 4 and a half hours, I should be on a plane headed out to Philly, the City of Brotherly Love and Cheese Steaks.

I wanted to send out a mass email tonite, but unfortunately there's no "all" function. haha No spamming from here, baby.

I'm totally backed up on emails right now, and since I left packing until about 9pm tonite, it's kinda gotten pushed back some more.

There's just so many people to thank, so many things to say to so many people; I've seriously been blessed with so so many good people in my life.

Then again, I keep saying that it's not like I'm immigrating to a far & away county forever. These four years will pass quickly (as have the past few - it's already been 3 and a half years since I moved down to SoCal!) and hopefully I'll be right back here.

Then again, who knows what God has in store - the future is unknown and there are all sorts of exciting possibilities. I just wish I had the faith to live this lack of knowledge with hopeful excitement and not apply my normal pessimism to it. I wish I could sound more excited right now, but I'm just tired. I'm pretty sure the excitement will kick in once i'm there & going thru orientation & eventually drilling my first set of plastic teeth!

For my blog friends, I hope to get back on my blogger horse and update more now. Esp w/ pictures, since my writing is so mundane. yawwwwn.

More to come...from Philly!
