I am currently sitting in seat 47k of VAustralia’s non-stop flight to Melbourne, Australia. I have the entire row to myself. SCORE. Apologies for not writing sooner. My week in Santa Barbara was HECTIC! From the goodbyes in Portland...
To the 16 hour drive (without stops)...
To Santa Barbara...
To diving head first into my favorite part of the year...
I Madonnari was a huge success this year. Every single year it seems to get bigger and becomes more and more of a success, making it a yearly landmark for Santa Barbarians.
All week people would come up to me and say, “Are you ready for this big adventure you’re about to take?” and I wouldn’t know how to respond. The amount of time I had to think about the trip was minimal. A little confession … I didn’t start packing until 10pm LAST NIGHT! 22 hours before I move my life to AUSTRALIA!!! The land of koalas, good beer, a cute blonde boy and of course my extended family.
The amount of emotions that have been flowing through my head are overwhelming. Last night I sold my car. This car took me to Wolf Trap for the first time. It kept me safe on my way to North Carolina, and of course when I decided to make the second trek cross country it carried most of my belonging to Oregon. Crying over a car sounds stupid and petty, but I did it. Thank god it went to a good home and knowing that I will get to drive it again makes me ease up on the crazy amount of emotions.
Bottom line dear blog readers – I am going to miss everyone dearly. This is the beginning of something good. I can feel it!
