ONE MONTH!!

I can't believe that in exactly one month from today I'll be on a plane to South Korea. Craazzzy!  I got my flight itinerary about two weeks ago and that's when it really hit me. I'll post my itinerary closer to my departure date for anyone interested in checking up on my flights :)

I have a good feeling that the month of July is going to fly by with all the exciting things going on. My Brother, Chris, will be visiting from Alabama for a week, as well as celebrating my Dad's 50th Birthday and my sister, Marcia, is closing on her house. Oh and of course I can't forget the arrival of Baby Mullins.

On top of all of July's festivities, I still have so much to do to get prepared. I've already moved my stuff back to Roanoke which is a big weight lifted off my shoulders. I have one week left here in Norfolk before I move permanently back home with the Rents. I never would've thought I would say the words, "I'm moving back in with my parents", hahaha.

Everyone keeps asking me if I'm excited, nervous or having seconds thoughts. Of course every kind of emotion has been jolting through my body, but I can say that I KNOW this is the best decision for me. I definitely have to say a big "Thank You" to Lauren, which is who I'm going to be replacing. She has been great in helping me get prepared and easing any kind of worries that I have been having. It's unfortunate she won't be there when I get there, but it seems like I'll be working with some really fun people. :)

Peace Out Hampton Roads!

As of now, I’m not 100% sure as to when I will be leaving. I have word it’s going to be either the middle or end of July. I currently have two weeks left of work and three weeks until I move back to Roanoke with my family. I’m taking a month off from work to do absolutely nothing. Ahhh I can’t wait!

It seems like just yesterday I made the decision to move to Norfolk to finish my last two years of college at Old Dominion University. Five years later, I now call it my “home”. I've had mixed emotions about this place, but I can honestly say I love it here! I’ve met so many amazing people and have developed great friendships with some that I know will last a lifetime.

I’m going to miss the beach being readily available to me. No more convenience of dipping my feet into the ocean and burying my feet in the sand. I will never forget the crazy flooding in Norfolk that caused me to be stuck in my house for three days, cookouts at the Sixteens, along with eating some of the freshest seafood at my favorite restaurants. Also, the random nights with friends, ODU football tailgates, having a 711 on every corner, summer concerts at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater while paying $12 for a beer, and of course frequenting Kokoamos with the ladies every Friday night in the summer for 50¢ drinks and then deciding it is a good idea to head to Hot Tuna to get our dance on with some of our country's finest military men.

I’m not sure if I will ever end up back here in Hampton Roads. If not, it sure was a great five years for me here. I will miss you! :(
