Goodbyes

As I have been preparing to leave for Turkey in just a SHORT time, I have of course been thinking about all the stuff I will really miss that I know Turkey will not have (no matter how cool it may be). So I thought I would list the top five things I will miss when I am in Turkey because i know you are all just dying to know!

5. My Sweet Ride -My 99' Lumina also known by many as The Shuttle because she is so fast, it is like being in a space shuttle. She has been a reliable companion on my many road trips where I would listen to books on tape (yep I said books on TAPE- I am that cool!)










 4. Idaho Sunsets- I know everyone thinks their town/state has the best sunsets, but I am sorry I am have never seen a sunset anywhere that is as breathtaking as an Idaho sunset. (This isn't even the a great picture of one)

3. The Great Northwest Outdoors- As John Muir once said or wrote or whispered or thought or some how communicated "The mountains are calling and I  must go." I am so fortune to have friends and family who hear the mountains calling too, so I have had many great adventures in the Northwest. I feel so fortunate to have grown up here.





  2. My adoptive Dogs, Sadie and Autumn- Yes Autumn I never really appreciated your "Sneaky Frenches" or Sadie I know you are too cool to even acknowledge me most of the time let alone accept me as your friend, but you two canines have enriched my life and your furry backs have collected my tears many a times because sometimes you gave the best hugs when I was blue.










1. The biggest blessing anyone could have- my wonderful friends and family- You are a group of loving, inspiring, unique, and yes sometimes weird individuals and that is why I love you.



I can survive without my car and sunsets, but it will be hard to leave you amazing people. Your love, support, and encouragement is what has made this new adventure in my life a reality,and I feel so fortunate to have all of you  in my life. I love you all and take you in my heart as I go half way across the world!
