"Lasts" and "Firsts"

These past few weeks have been filled with several "lasts" for at least a year. Last cell group, last day with Caleb, last Warehouse 6:44, last family vacation, last visit with Miss Joan, last drive-in movie with friends, last office cleaning "extravaganza" with Eboni, last reading lesson with KK,etc. In a way it makes me really sad, but I have been trying to savor and enjoy these lasts, as I look forward to all kinds of "firsts" in India. Even though I don't know what those "firsts" will be yet, I know they will become so meaningful that I will mourn their "lasts" as well someday.

Today was my last Japanese Encephalitis vaccination - YAY! There's a "last" I was happy to be done with! The rest of the day is going to be filled with the project of finishing packing. Hopefully once I'm done with that, these last 4 days can be relaxing and fun as I spend time with my FAMILY (emphasis by my mom). And friends. (not so much - maybe just a little, signed,MOM). I also intend to keep on having "lasts" - like last Chik-fil-A, last Shakes, last Taco Bell (do you see a theme?). Oh - and maybe a few lasts with my family.


P.S
The above is what happens when you ask your mom to update your blog together. A first AND a last :)
