Bon Voyage Jeff!

I did it, I let him go. He'll be in Africa and Italy for the last week til June 3rd. I'm doing okay though. The weekend before he left went by really really slow, which is exactly what I needed, and I've got many great things to help me stay okay while he's gone. We made a countdown chain for every day that he's gone. I've already gotten to take of 2, there are little sweet notes from him on some of them. I have a shirt that he left for me that smells like him (hopefully that won't wear off too soon), and he left me a book of journal entries/letters to me that he's been writing in for the past year. I'm trying to pace myself and only read a little every day. He told me to make it last the whole time. I'll be okay though. I'm crazy busy with school, and I have amazing roommates who love me, and an amazing family who loves me too. I also will get to talk to him periodically on Skype, which will be nice. I love you Jeff! You will be severely missed.
