All Good Things Must Come To An End

Well here we are, the day I have been dreading.  Today was my last day in Scotland because tomorrow I head home.  This whole week has been a whirlwind, and I don't know where it went.  On Monday I worked in the shop, Tuesday my mom and I went to Musselburgh, Wednesday we walked to White Sands, on Thursday my mom, dad and I went to Edinburgh, Friday we stayed home as it rained but went to my Aunt Connie and Uncle Georges for dinner and today we went to East Linton.  We crammed a lot into one week.  I have had an absolutely wonderful stay and I am so sad that it is coming to an end.  I made a big mistake in changing my ticket, I should have left well alone.  Now I get to miss out one a once in a lifetime family celebration unless I can scrounge together some more money within a month so I can come back before June 21st lol.  I think I will have a fundraiser like my niece did for her trip to Tanzania.  Does anyone want to sponsor me? LOL.  I can go home for Kenley's birthday and let my family see me for a month and then I can return home to Scotland and be here for my family's reunion.  I think its a brilliant idea...lol.

So I am all packed.  I have two very heavy bulging suitcases.  I didn't think I was going to fit everything in.  Actually I had to leave some clothes here, so I have to come back :-)  (Are you seeing a theme here?).  My flight leaves Edinburgh at 8:00 am tomorrow morning.  Have to get up around 4:30 as my Aunt is coming at 5:30 to pick us up to take us to the airport.  I have about a 3 hour layover in London before boarding my 11 hour flight to Los Angeles.  Its going to be a long long day.  I'll be glad when its over.  Probably wont get much sleep tonight.  Headed into the bath shortly and then will try lie down for a little bit.
To all my family and friends here in the UK, I say a BIG thank you for everything you have done for me.  Especially my Mom and Dad for putting up with me for all these weeks.  Mom - I am going to miss all our walks and being able to sit and sew with you, Dad - I am going to miss hearing all the family tales.  A special thank you goes out to my Aunt and Uncle who did a lot for me too.  I so appreciated the week I spent with them and all the places they took me.  To my brother and his wife, I am sad that I didn't get to see you more but I understand you both work and live busy lives. To Val - I will miss your craziness.  You always made me laugh lol.  I hope Val and Anne continue with their sewing adventure.  I promise to FaceTime you on a sewing day even if it is 2:00 am in California lol.
Ok thats it until next time - hopefully sooner than later :-)
Night all !!!!
