Cincinnati to Memphis

So I left this morning at 10:30 AM from Cincinnati in route to Houston. I made it to Memphis around 7 PM Cincinnati time. I would have been there about one hour earlier if it hadn't been for this big traffic jam in Bowling Green, Kentucky. They had construction going on which made things go to one lane and I think there was an accident involving a semi because when I finally got past everything I saw a tow truck lifting up a semi. During this traffic jam I moved 5 miles in 75 minutes. It wasn't a whole lot of fun but I was able to maneuver my bags around and sneak out a book to read while I was sitting still or rolling at 4 mph.

One random thing about the packing situation. I know I mentioned how I had to fit everything in my small Chevy Cavalier and that I was going to do a couple things to help out like putting all my DVDs in a 240 count CD case and packing most of my clothes into 2 large suit cases to bring on the plane back from graduation. (Wow that was a long sentence. I'm not sure if that is a legal sentence.) So what I wanted to say was, it is amazing how perfectly everything fit into my car. Even Jessica's, another TFA'er, printer! I don't think I could fit one more thing in there BUT I did fit everything I wanted and it is very snug and secure. I just see this as another one of God's many blessings as of late that I have noticed.

It was hard leaving Cincinnati knowing that I am not coming back in 6 months like I usually do. I will be gone for at least 2 years. It hasn't really set in yet that I may not see some people ever again. I am hoping to see many people at graduation this Saturday and Friday night too. It is hard to believe that we are all going to take different paths in life and hopefully keep up on each other's lives. This is just the beginning of another amazing chapter of my life and I look forward to every single second of it!

Peace,
MO
