I have a departure date!!!

Well it's all but official. I'll be leaving on Monday August 25th. I just have to get the money for the ticket and I'm good to go. It's so crazy to think that within the next week I may potentially have my ticket for me to leave. Oh my goodness!!! Well it contributes to the excitement but at the same time it makes me have heart palpitations knowing that in 143 days I'll be getting on a plane and leaving everyone for two years.
