Today's the Day

The day has finally arrived!  All the planning and dreaming will be put into action starting today! It's still hard to believe and I don't think it will actually hit me until I am done traveling in Ireland.  I have so many feelings going on at the same time today - excitement for the adventure, sad to leave my family, anxious for everything to come together as planned, appreciation to my family for taking some extra responsibilities while I am gone.  I don't think they realize how much I appreciate all the things they are doing and have done for me.  I wouldn't be able to live this dream if it weren't for their help!  I love you guys more than you know!
