Well, this is it. Currently on my flight from Minneapolis to
Seattle, and from there to arrive in Honolulu. This has been a long time coming
and I can’t believe that it has actually arrived. It has been about two months
since the last time that I had blogged. The time has passed with finishing up
work at Career Professionals and Rojo, spending lots of time with friends,
visiting family, and of course the dreaded – packing!
I was able to sell a majority of the things that I was
planning on getting rid of, with a few odds and ends that I ended up giving
away to family and friends. I was surprised how easy it was to condense my life
into two boxes, besides what I would be taking on the trip. I am keeping the
items that are not taking the trip with me at Grandpa’s house in Eau Galle,
what a nice grandpa! Speaking of Grandpa, my family threw me a going away party
at Grandpa’s house also this last Saturday and I was shocked by the amount of
people that were able to come out and visit for the day! The sun was out and it
was a beautiful day so the tent was set up, tables lined with food, all the
kids were running around with the hose spraying each other, it was truly a
great day! There were probably
upwards to thirty people that were there, not sure I guess on exactly how many.
Also since we talked last the girls threw me a SURPRISE
going away party! I must say I was completely shocked and surprised all at the
same time. I really had no idea and even when I look back at it there were
still only a few subtle hints. The party was at Stella’s Fish Café in uptown
where Amy works and I really thought that we were just going to go there to
have a drink to see here and when the elevator doors open, BAM, tons of people
from all different parts of my life that I didn’t even know knew each other. A
friend was the DJ for the event and we just danced all night! From what I can
remember of it, it was a great time.
When I think back to all of the good times that I had in
Minneapolis the last year and a half I remember just how much I love this city.
So much culture, great food, music scene, the great outdoors, all packed into
this big little town. I can honestly call Minneapolis home and city that I hope
to come back to some day.
I don’t like to dwell in the past so now its time for my
next big adventure. Senegal is going to be great and I am so lucky that I am
able to spend some time with my parents, and maybe even see my brother at my LA
layover, before I depart. I am truly blessed with the best friends and family,
I don’t know what I would do without them. Take care for now everyone. Hawaii
here I come!
