Well...here we are. Today is my last day at CJCI/CIRX. I can't believe it and, to be honest, I'm actually really sad about it. I'm excited to get out of this "limbo" point in my life where I feel like I haven't actually been doing anything, except waiting. Finally, the waiting is over, but... I guess when one section of life is closing it's alright to be sad for it. I've had some fantastic times here, and I want to thank everyone who has made it a memorable and happy time in my life. Mare, Heather, G-lo and Christina, Bill, Jessica, Hartley, and (of course) Pope have all specifically gone out of their way for me, and I hope I managed to tell them all how much that meant to me at the time and continues to mean to me.
I moved out of my apartment yesterday on my lunch break. There was no time for me to think about the leaving. All I had time for was to grab my stuff, vaccuum and give my keys to my landlord. Then Brad and I got in the car and I looked at the building and it struck me that I would never be able to go in again, that I actually didn't have the key to the front door anymore. It was a very weird feeling to realize I don't actually live there anymore. That was a sad feeling too, afterall, I spent 7 months living in that apartment and took pains to make it feel like me. Well, things change, don't they? It's unstoppable, and definately a good thing. I'm just a little scared for the moment when it all actually really hits me...that i'm moving so far away from my family and that I actually won't be working here anymore...
(ps. this is my 200th post! Thanks for hangin in there!)

hey jess, ya leaving is very tough, and very sad, people at the station become like your family. I was there for 3 years and its not easy to just leave the people you see every single day, especially when you like where you work. I was teary eyed as I drove away the last time, I felt silly but thats how it is. And Steve Fanning my goodness when i hugged him was like... well i guess i'll never see you again...and he laughed cause he made me cry. So anyway I feel your pain, but you are off to start a new adventure and to be with Brad and I'm sure it will be wonderful!!!
