One Last (Family) Hurrah

August 26th, 2012 kaolse14

From left to right: My little brother (conveniently rockin' a Sader Nation shirt), me, Dad and Mom. Missing from the picture is my older brother, who was at work at the time. He showed up later.

Last night, my family gathered for a final “hurrah” before I leave. My grandparents, aunt and uncle came to our house to enjoy a steak and seafood dinner before cutting into a Russian-themed cake with the message “Kyle – Good luck in Russia” written across it.

I leave Los Angeles in just two days. Man that came fast! It finally hit me how much I am going to miss my family when I am gone. Of course, I anticipated this feeling ever since I applied to study abroad; however, now that my trip is only a few days away, I can no longer repress those feelings or put those thoughts into the backburner. Reality has set in. Study abroad is here. Let’s go!
