The Final Countdown

T Minus Three hours and thirty minutes until my flight.

I am not as nervous as I thought I would be, but I still detect a cycling of nerves, mainly in my speech patterns (speaking fast and stuttering a bit). 

A lifetime of of improvement squished into a year.  My greatest loss has led to my greatest success and I am going to run with it!

My entire life has changed, and I have so many people to thank.  My childhood friends, my Chang Bangers, my other friends I have made, my ex... to many to thank.

I have so many new things to experience in a brave new world.  The Dale I was has slowly been fading into an echo, and I am going to continue to grow into something faster, stronger better than I was before.  Dubai represents a tangible and physical goal/destination, and for the first time in my life I feel as if I have truly earned my opportunity.

Aside from the move, I really do not have much to talk about at the moment.  However, my next blog post is going to be in a new city, a new country amidst a whole different set of friends.  Half a world away, but maybe, just maybe I am going to what home is supposed to be.

Until next time!

And for a bit of ambiance!  Europe!
