...As far as the list stuff ... you'd be surprized to find out how some people will want to help you buy some of what is on the list!...

Your perspective is definitely a blessing to me!! I mean, you can really say, "been there, done that", and for that, I thank you for sharing your answers!

In regards to the list comment -- you're totally right about how much people want to help out!! Already, many people have kept asking "So, have you gotten your list yet??" I've found this to be immensely humbling, especially for the most part, I have a difficult time receiving gifts from people. (I'm definitely better at giving gifts than receiving.) To say the least, through the humility I just feel so loved.

I'm also hoping to pack as [i]least[/i] as possible. Perhaps this is a rather silly reason, but I hate baggage claim. Haha! (Maybe that means I'm a lazy bum.)

Your work situation -- with your bosses -- is really awesome!! It's wonderful that they were so understanding and supportive!!

I'm concerned about maintaining friendships via snail mail as you've said. I don't know how often I'll be able to write or even about visiting, but also like you've said, "the true friends that walk through things with you through thick and thin" I think will still be there even if we aren't in contact as often. It also gives me consolation in hearing that you're family ties were strengthened.

And any other questions.. hmmm.... ... so this time around, in discernment, is the process different for you? How has your perspective changed? (If you don't mind my asking.)
