The count down began a long time ago lets say 47 days ago
and I was so exited and scared to go back to the U.S and leave this amazing
island and my soon to be husband.
As time got closer to me leaving I started to think about
all of the things that I miss back home in the US, Food, driving, my washing
machine, a microwave, good shopping, friends and my family.
I also started noticing and having many more pet peeves
about Grenada, the way men talk to me on the street, or people assuming I came
off a cruse ship, the slow pace and hand washing my cloths. Its so bitter and
sweet at the same time to be leaving this amazing, loving different place where
I would like to say I found a new me.
I find myself to be very emotional, angry, sad, confused,
happy, and exited. I think that because I went back to the states each year it
will make my readjusting to the US much better, in the Peace Corps we are
offered counseling to help us readjust I found that interesting but now I
understand why some people would need that.
The wedding planning is going grate everything is in order
and the first family member has arrived. Just one problem I went from 47days
left to 17 in the blink of an eye. This weekend is almost over next weekend I
have an interview for a summer camp back in Grenada in August, my mom coming
Thursday and the rehearsal Friday and the wedding Saturday. Then I leave on the 20th. WOW.
I wish that I understood when I was younger when my mom said
tack your time enjoy your childhood because you only get one. Now I am 26 Years
old and getting ready to start a new chapter in life and I just want to freeze
time and enjoy whats going on around me but I cant!!
Time will tell and things will work out but its just amazing
you have one life to live and it really does
fly by.
