Leaving Paradise?

Who wants to leave paradise?  This has been a fantastic summer thus far, and I'm so happy with my time since school got out.  I've loved being home with my family, loved having friends and family visit.  I went on my first cruise and toured an underwater cave in Cozumel, Mexico.  I watched my brother graduate high school.  I lay on the beach and soaked up the sun.

On Wednesday, I was finally able to bring Cody home to meet my parents, and to show him where I live and the beautiful South I love so much.  I've enjoyed having him here with me so much, these past few days, it's really made me happy.  Happier than even this awesome summer had already made me.  I'm so glad he was able to come down, so glad to have him here with me, so glad to spend eleven days with him, day after day after day.  Thank you for coming, Cody.

I do wish I had more confidence in the rest of the summer, however.  I've yet to find out from the Army if I'm going anywhere this summer, or when or where that might be, exactly.  And I was supposed to leave in less than 10 days...  The stress of uncertainty is too much, so I've been ignoring it now pretty entirely.  I hope it all works out...  The stress of moving to Korea is less my burden to bear than it is my parents' though.  I'm not really moving, I'm just visiting.  But for their sakes, I pray for a safe move, that all the details fall smoothly into place, and that they like their home in Korea.  And I pray too that Galen find college to be all he'd hoped and more, that he comes to really enjoy his time at Calvin and that he does well.  Gah, the future.... I don't want to think about it when the present is so perfect.
