Once again we are going off schedule for an emotional blog post. This one will most likely be two parts. The excitement of going home to my loved ones today and the sadness of the ending of a new adventure as the plane ascends to its home in the sky. Today was my day in…
Day 4- I had every intention of waking this morning with the sun…it was a great intention but my sleep proved to be a worthy contender.
