8:::am

it's truly here. after talking, trying to talk myself out of, praying about, and getting excited about going to philly, it is finally at it's initial moment.

i always wondered why in Apollo 13, the movie, why the one astronaut threw up when they were launching into the atmosphere and couldn't really figure it out. however, i think i know why now... because i sorta feel that way too. Getting hurled into something almost completely unknown-- that's why he chucked his "big breakfast." i feel for the guy. i realize there is a difference between space travel and living somewhere new. but it seems applicable enough.

hope all is well
-will


to quote and add on to a great prayer:
"may God guide our steps and guard our hearts" and give us strength
