Friday morning I left Boston for NJ. The bus was really delayed and I ended up late for Nicholas’s baptism. But I guess it was OK because Michelle apparently only got there 10 minutes before me. Uncle Bill had me do the first reading, the responsorial psalm, and help give communion. I never even take the wine, so that was exciting!
Sunday my mom had a BBQ / pool party. A lot of the family came. Unfortunately it rained all day. Still a great time! Everyone wished me well. I even got a few birthday gifts, since I’ll be gone for my 25th birthday. It’s going to be weird when I see everyone again in 3 months for Thanksgiving, when we would see each other again anyway, after having such epic goodbyes.
I’ve spent the past week going through boxes taking out what I want and putting the rest away. I hoped to leave everything nice and neat, I’m mostly meeting that goal. I gave myself plenty of time to pack, thank goodness! I feel really good about what I have picked out to bring. I just hope the suitcase closes :)
