Au Revoir Family!

I'm leaving today for my crazy Europe adventure. I still can't believe it. It's hit me in some ways, but in other ways I haven't fully wrapped my brain around it yet. Tonight, when you are all sleeping, I'm going to be stepping out of a Paris airport, looking around, and probably crying with happiness and excitment.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of my wonderful family for being so supportive. This means an enormous amount to me and it means even more that you all are so excited for me. I did not get this reaction from everybody... but it only matters that the people I love and care about are encouraging in a way that will stay with me forever. Thank you all for that.

Love you all very much. Expect post cards from Paris! Hopefully they'll make it back to the States before I do.
