...for the first time

from a book I found one day over the summer while traveling through Georgia

In eight days I will be getting on an airplane.

Seven hours from then,

I will arrive in Portland,

thus marking the end of my three and a half years of being nomadic,

and the beginning of something new,

in an apartment I have never seen in person,

in a place I can hardly believe I will soon be calling home.

I am at once excited and exhausted just thinking of it;

but I am certain that it will be the beginning of something wonderful.
