One Month From Today - Ein Monat von Heute

Can you believe it? Exactly one month from today I will be back in the United States. Even while I'm writing this, I really can not grasp the reality of the situation. I feel like there is so much to do. I feel like I have already done so much. I feel like no time has passed. I feel years older. I feel excited, optimistic, and fun like I was when I was younger. I feel like I have experienced a lifetime of escapades that before I could have never imagined.

I am so excited about coming home! I've even been listening to large amounts of Lynyrd Skynyrd in preparation. I'm not sure I will ever be able to completely take in how important this year has been to me.  I found a quote the other day that I can't stop relating to my year here.

“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.”

Plus, who could forget to keep this cute face with them for always?
