bittersweet ::

76 days:

bitter: 9 friends I’ve lived with since January head back to America, I know that I probably won’t see some of them for a long time…

sweet: a few of my favorite people are flying across the ocean to hang out with me in South Africa for two weeks (and that brings a HUGE smile to my face!)

91 days: 

bitter: I’ll leave my American friends in warm and sunny South Africa while they finish their holiday

sweet: I’ll be on my way home to see mi familia! 

94 days: 

bitter: I’ll be leaving my family after just a couple of days for a long weekend (of work…)

sweet: I’m headed to the Sunshine State…I love Florida winters and I’ll get to have an incredible reunion with incredible friends

98 days: 

bitter: I’m flying back to Minneapolis during one of the busiest travel seasons of the year. hello, delayed flights and lost luggage!

sweet: whohoo for a white Christmas! Last year, I worked Christmas Eve and Christmas day (17 hours a day-ish) so I’m really excited to spend it at home.
