It's the big day. Today is the day that I leave for Europe for good. I'm sitting at DFW right now in a Samsung Mobile sponsored room with power for my laptop. No free wireless though. All that's here is T-Mobile which is 9.99 per day and I'd only get to use an hour. It's not worth it and I need to pinch my pennies or pounds or whatever. The day started at 6 am today with a wake up call from Buddy and Sam (Nikki was still passed out). If you didn't know those are my parents dogs at their house which is where I've been staying the last week until I leave. It's really an exciting notion to be going to do something so not 'normal.'

We all drove to Dallas (if you've ever been to Dallas with me, it was the usual run of the Apple Store at Willow Bend because I had to return a game). In the process I bought a new iPod Touch 16 gb and returned the one I had to Best Buy. That's right. We stopped by Best Buy. My last day in the states and I 'had' to go to Best Buy. I'm pathetic I know. We had Cinnabon at the mall where the Apple store is at and then after Best Buy we had Fudruckers (amazing burgers). Needless to say we are all STUFFED to the brim. Food is not a good subject right now.

I'm excited to see my Dad again and my aunt Linda as well. I'm excited to fly. I'm excited to be in Germany again as well but I'm terrified at the same time. Knowing that on this trip I'm going one-way and not planning on returning anytime soon is scary and exciting. I don't want to ramble so I'll try to keep the rest of this short. I tend to write when I don't have internet access and then upload away when I do. I miss my friends already and everyone already. Wish me luck!

Lots of love,

Chris
