Take Me Somewhere Nice

"A family is a little world created by love."

I love my family. My great big family!

I have been so greatly blessed by the Lord for my big family.

I don't know what I could have ever done without any of them.

Today was my last full day in Slobispo.

It was also the night I said goodbye to the Talleys (first picture).

It was one of the hardest things I've done in a while.

I know, I know I will see them in December.

I know, I know I come back during summer.

But, not being able to see them every week is hard.

Karena. Violet. Daniel. The faces that melt my heart everytime I see them.

I love them like my own brothers and sisters.

I gave them all goodbye gifts to remember me.

Karena especially got my favorite.

First off, I'll tell you she has my first grade teacher, which is crazy!

So, along with having my first grade teacher, I gave her my first guitar.

She was so stoked.

But after saying goodbye to all of them, I got into my car and immediately fell into tears.

I couldn't control myself. It was all this emotion finally exploding.

No more Mom. No more Talleys. No more Boutte's. I'm on my own.

Its crazy.

Though emotion of sadness is shown.

Deep inside me I know I'm excited.

God has SO much in store for me. So much I can't even fathom.

I trust in Him, for I know He has plans for me (Jeremiah 29:11)

So, as I drive down tomorrow, move in on Thursday morning,

I would love your prayer for the next week.

It's gonna be crazy and different.

I love you all. I love my family.

~Dan.

PS: I don't leave till 3 tomorrow, text me and come say hi and bye.
