June 1, 2009
That's the date I get on an airplane and head back to the States. I had to pick the date when we were making up budgets several weeks ago. I always knew it would be somewhere around then, but knowing the exact day is weird.
On June 1 I'll return to my family, my friends, my Wendy's burgers, and my country. It'll be a great homecoming, and I'm looking forward to it.
On June 1 I'll leave the family and friends God has blessed me with here (and the good food), and fly to a place I haven't seen in 3 years, where I have no house, no job, no car, nothing except a couple of suitcases. I'm not looking forward to it.
On June 1 I'll leave an entire life behind to start a new one.
