Mexico bound

So I've officially been up longer than 24 hours now. In fact 28 hours in three minutes. I've been at Port Columbus Intl. Airport since about 12:45 am. My dad drove me right after he was off of work, because he's working tomorrow and Sunday. So I'm hanging out here for a little while longer than normal.

I've been wanting to blog about all the rush of emotions that have been running through my body all week. But I'm so tired I am having trouble finding the right words to use to describe them. Yesterday Ll my kids at work just didn't want to let go of me when they gave me a hug bye. It was almost as if they were saying good bye to me for the rest of their lives. It was very endearing to know that I mean that much to them, and that I've impacted their young lives so much already that they just didn't want to say good bye. Even if its only for 7 days. During pick up last night I told them to show their mommy, daddy, or relative where I was going on out carpet (it's a maps of the continents). They were soooooo beyond excited to show them!!! They showed them where we lived (or about) and where I was going and expressed that its far away and that I had to fly in an air plane to get there because I couldn't drive my yellow car. So simply explained but so much detail they gave, made me almost bust with joy!!! They really listened to me when I shared the pesos that I got for the trip, and explained where I was going and for how long. I truly love my job!!!

Brain fell asleep....

On my way here (last night) I received an email from Leah Wasburn-Moses, notifying me of the decision made on my recent application to the cohort, Special Education, at Miami University. The email states, "Please see attached. Sincerely, Dr. Leah." Well, I got this overwhelming feeling of rejection in almost an instant. Because that's all the email said. I opened the attachment, and read; "It is with pleasure that we welcome you to the Miami University Department of Educational Psychology Special Education major! You have met the criteria to join the ranks of those pursuing a career that makes a difference in the lives of children and as such, you will be helping to shape the next generation of citizens in our society.  This is no easy task and should be held in the highest regard." From my current exhausted state of mind I thought I had red it wrong.... But no I didn't. I was just way to tired to get to elated with excitement.... Still am, but I am truly really happy.

As I sit at my boarding gate, I'm still not sure who is apart of my team? There's a bunch of couples.... But I don't know? I'm keeping an eye out for the team leader, Chris, but even then I've only seen his picture in his Facebook. I hope connections will being soon....
