I am off to a bittersweet start and something tells me that this will not be the last time I find myself using that statement.
The upside: I was able to check a few things off my list today, the two biggest being my luggage and Dubai-appropriate clothes shopping. I was able to find long leggings and skirts and wide v-necks in autumn flavored hues. While the weather may suggest otherwise, I still feel the need to incorporate the season –whether I’m on this side of the world or not. I also finally buckled down and purchased a pair of unripped jeans (sigh).
I also found a Dubai travel guide at Barnes and Noble! This is quite an accomplishment, since I rarely walk out of that wonderful place with any of the original items I had intended on purchasing. A girl can never have too many cupcake cookbooks! Okay, maybe she can… but that’s beside the point. Back to the business.
The downside: I’m having to say farewells to friends and others already. As most have probably already discovered about me, I am horrible at goodbyes and often avoid them like the plague. If I run off without saying anything to you, it’s nothing personal. It just must mean I like you a whole lot. ;) Besides, it’s not goodbye. It’s “see yah later,” right?
I feel like everyone disappears right before my trips. I think this could be God’s way of insuring that I rely on Him and cut any human dependencies before I leave. It sure gets my focus back to where it should be, to say the least.
In other news: Good luck to all my NAU babies who started classes this week! You all better keep causing trouble on my behalf while I’m away.
There’s not much else to update on. I’m slightly stressed, slightly excited, slightly a million other things.
P.S. I thought you might all enjoy a few photos of some Dubai surf action. How sick is this?!

Chelci my freind,
There is truly no-one else like you in the world. You are such a unique and amazing person. Never do you seize to make me think to myself "there goes chelci" I can not help but feel that we have been drifting apart recently but that is something I solely blame on me. Now here you are getting ready to embark on a journey and what has been lost can not be retrieved. You are someone special my freind, you are someone who will do great things throughout thier life. You are not afraid to reach for the limits. I truly admire you for having the courage to do things I can never see myself doing. God has a plan for you Chelci, something bigger than all of us. I am going to miss you my freind while you are gone. I hope to mend our relationship that has been withering apart. Someone like you can not be let to slip away. I wish you only the best Chelci on your journey. I will keep you in my prayers day after day becasue I only want the best of things for you. As I work to make up for what has been lost I just want you to know that I am always here my freind, 24/7, anytime for anything. I want to be someone you can truly count on. I will fly to Dubai to save you if I have to. The more I write the more I realize you wil be terribly missed but that is okay. Never change my freind, you are truly like no other, you are unparelled to anyone else I have ever met, you are simply Chelci. I love you as much as a freind can love another freind. You will be missed.
With much love from a dearest freind.
Porfirio Caldera.
