I feel mixed... Sad yet excited.. I cannot imagine that I am leaving now. My room, my family, my dogs will be crying as soon as i left.

I know this is the time that GOD has given to me... its time for me to be with my husband and I know that my life there will be a great blessing.

I am thankful to this website and for those who have helped me. That's a lot to mention but you know who you are. I will still post here. Thank you so much!

It will be my first time to ride a plane and im feeling scared so I pray that GOD will put his hands upon me as i travel for 16 hours from Manila to Seattle.

What else should i say, this is it! I wanna visit Neverland and Disneyland.. :star:

GOD bless everyone.

"my dogs will be crying"

That breaks my heart.... I wouldn't be able to leave my dogs for anyone, for anything, for any country. But, as long as you have someone there that will love them as you do, it isn't so so bad..... but still sad.

Life..... Nobody gets out alive.
