We’re moving. I know I’ve said this several times before, but this time I mean it. We’re moving. In 16 days. The movers will be here next Tuesday. It’s happening. It’s no longer something we know is coming but are shoving aside so we can thuroughly enjoy our time here, it’s now. It’s next week.
The time has come.
In 8 days my parents are going to find us a house in Jacksonville. A friend is going to come stay with us for the day while they’re over there. The next day the movers come and pack our stuff. They finish and pull out Thursday. We leave Monday, the 9th.
My farewell party was last night. My very sweet friend, Lizzy, planned it and held it at her house. It was so much fun, dictionary.com couldn’t find a word to describe it. Most of the people there I knew I’d see again, but others I knew this would be the last time before the move.  It was bittersweet, but we all had smiles on the whole time and were having tons of fun.
We’ve been campaigning this month a lot. Twice a week, in fact, more than 10 hours a week. I’ve learned so much about my closest friends through campaigning. Because you are walking the whole time, you must come up with conversation. You learn so much about your partner/s. There have been so many laughs and jokes, though some are embarrassing, like the ones at Dairy Queen, others are just plain memories that will never be forgotten, like missed houses and our protectors. And whoever knew that Aaron’s truck was really a traveling perfume department? Campaigning has probably been one of the best experiences of my life. Not only am I learning tons about politics and Governors of Florida and the countys therein(long goofy story), but I also get to spend much time with my most amazing friends. After the stress of the days;  getting lost in the seemingly endless rows of houses, having to backtrack after missing houses, dealing with not-so-nice people; and on top of all that doing it under the blistering hot Florida sun in 100 degree weather really shows both sides of your companions, and it makes one feel lucky to still have you’re friends afterward(hahaha) and love your friends even more for how well they handle disquieting situations. I love my campaigning group. Plain and simple.

Well that’s what’s happening. My last campaigning day is Monday. It’s a LONG day too, so it will be one to remember. God has been good! It has been so much fun living here, and I am not eager to leave. But I know that Jacksonville will be just another chapter in my life, and I’m glad that Jacksonville is only like 5-6 hours away from here! I am blessed.
