Like a.. roller coaster?

I. Love. Roller coasters. The whole idea of getting to a theme park nice and early and waiting in a long line for that one ride that you’ve heard is literally THE best ride in the park. Hearing stories of how fast and scary it is, just waiting in anticipation until you’re at the front of the line and are about to get on all while freaking out. You finally get on, are all buckled up, and as the ride starts to “tick-tick-tick-tick-tick” up an extremely steep hill you look side to side and think to yourself, “I'm literally about to die and these people next to me are the last people I’m ever going to see…o.m.g.,” but none of that comes out of your mouth because your just freaking out as you get closer and closer to the top, until finally your somewhat parallel to the ground again and you know the drop is about to come. Although you’re completely terrified you remember you chose to get on the ride in the first place because you heard how much fun and awesome it was and you couldn’t back out now obviously. Finally you drop over the side of the roller coaster and go through a million twists and turns for about 30 seconds, but when you get off the ride you have a sense of accomplishment that you actually did it and Lived!!! (: You get to go and get hugs from your friends while they all say, “I told you it was awesome!!!,” and you're so glad you rode it because if you hadn’t of, man, you would have regretted it.

You’re probably reading this and thinking, “Chloe… what does this have to do with anything? I understand how a roller coaster works… what?”  The reason I wrote about this is because it seemed like the perfect way to describe this move. My family has been waiting 365 days to move to Africa and were almost at the top of the roller coaster, holding on for dear life yet so unbelievable excited. The actual ride of the roller coaster is so much fun and that’s the “easier” part, but were not quite there yet. Of coarse there are going to be lots of ups, downs, twists, and turns, but its all part of the ride, right? It’s all part of the ride/journey that you chose to go on/take. This adventure that I’m about to go on is going to be one for the books, that’s for sure, but I've been waiting in anticipation for 358 days and I'm ready for the drop! This is going to be one of THE coolest experiences of my life and I seriously can not wait. Let go alreadyyyyyyy!!!
