Charlotte.

After a few sweet goodbyes and a quick flight, I have now arrived at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. I have about an hour and a half until we take the 8.5 hour plane ride to Madrid. 

Praise Jesus that my flight was not canceled because of Hurricane Irene!

I had the luxury of sitting by the window and by an empty seat as well. Shengong Wenwu was very happy. 

It's just starting to sink in that I won't see my best friends and family for four months. It's a little scary. I can hear students around me meeting and talking to each other that are going to Granada too, but I just can't get into the spirit. Maybe after arriving and settling in, I'll feel more apt to chat with strangers. But right now, I, Tara Northington, want to be anti-social. Bet ya never thought you'd hear that one!

Here's some of my favorite pictures from the past couple of days. 

Goodbye partayyy

Our picnic at the Townes

We've had an odd obsession with goldfish lately. :)

My little brother and I.

This cracks me up! Oh Lizaloo. 

You can see more pictures in my Facebook album.

Well, as I've been uploading pictures, I've made a new friend. Haha. Typ. Maybe the airport in Madrid won't be so scary now. 

I love y'all! Keep praying for me guys! Cannot wait to update y'all more about my adventures!
