Goodbye, home
One thing I will not miss about summers here in Oklahoma: the mosquitos. I went for a walk last evening to spend a little time with our animals one last time before I left, and was eventually driven back inside by about six mosquito bites. Despite the heat, the turkeys, goats, chickens, cats, and dog all seemed in high spirits.
Summer
I don't think I could've asked for a much better summer. I saw some beautiful scenery, in the Pacific Northwest as well as in Oklahoma and Florida. I've had memorable adventures with the people I love. It's been the perfect sort of transition. I've had time to appreciate what I've accomplished, but I don't really mean that in the sense you might think. Rather, I find myself in a really good mindset, which I have been able to enjoy with friends and family. I feel good about what I've done and what I'm going to do. Perhaps most importantly, I've been able to enjoy the most important moment: the present.
Now, though, I'm ready to be off! It's time to start the journey! I am writing this from my layover in the Dallas airport, on my way to Washington, D.C. Tomorrow afternoon we fly to Frankfurt and drive to the language camp. From what I can tell, I'll have minimal internet access while I'm there.
