Goodbye Chicago Hello Heart of Texas

"Imagine all the people"...these are the first words that I hear as I exit the blue line and enter into the airport. It seems perfectly fitting for the trip that I am about to take. Song #1 for my "Last Minute Trip to Texas" Soundtrack...Imagine.

I'm not a writer by any means and I hate punctuation because I suck at knowing where to put the comma or colon or semi colon...I choose not to use any. I didn't even really know what a blog was until the past year or two. Many of my friends blog and I'm intimidated by their eloquent way with words. But here I am sitting at gate K4 anticipating my trip and beginning one of my own. I didn't make this decision to create blog but rather was persuaded by a good friend of mine. She told me she wanted to stay updated with my day to day happenings while I'm gone. Of course she moves back to the city the weekend that I'm deployed to Texas!...I miss her something terrible.

As I'm sitting here it's finally hitting me that I am about to walk onto a plane. HOLY CRAP! This is a bit overwhelming. I am going to San Antonio where I've never been before I know no one and I have no idea where I'm staying or what I'm going to be doing. I find the thought of entering the plane more terrifying than I do about my undetermined trip.

Planes freak me out...freak me out!
