Today Is The Day!

I'm boarding a USA-bound plane in a few hours and couldn't be more excited! It feels so surreal (but wonderful) to finally be going home.

My Dad, Betty, Anthony, Katie and Lauren are picking me up from the airport once I get back to Arizona, and our task is to complete everything on my "To-Do Within the First 48 Hours Home" list!! Some of the items on my written list include:

*Sending over 100 text messages all within the 1st night (give me a break, its been hard living without my Blackberry this whole time!)

*Cooking something in an actual oven

*Staying 100 feet away from curry, fish, and white rice at all times

*Watching a LOT of television

*Rediscovering the joys of listening to the radio

*Eating a hamburger for the 1st time since February.

*Driving on the correct side of the road without crashing

So that should be pretty fun! But here's the issue I'm currently working on...there is NO WAY, in the whole world, that my bags are going to pass the weight limit restriction. I'm pretty sure each suitcase of mine weighs about 75 pounds (I wish I was kidding!) We'll see what happens once I get to the airport! Haha I'm such a girl..!

Peace out Australia- it's been real.

Once I get home and settled in, I'll post one last blog. Thanks to everyone who has consistently read this, it really really REALLY means a lot to me. SEE YOU ALL LATER TODAY (that's so exciting to say)!!!!!!!!!!!

For the last time- I love and miss you guys lots!
