Getting my finals things together to leave in the morning. Since I obviously won't be posting for a few days, just wanted to give a quick post about tomorrow.



Tomorrow, 16 April, not only begins possibly the most amazing adventure I could hope to embark on, it also marks the 3 year anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings. 3 years ago, 32 of my Hokie brothers and sisters were taken away, and I still to this day think about it nearly every day.



As painful as the event is, I like to think of it as a reminder. A reminder to constantly live your life to it's fullest. To love every minute. To laugh at all the little things, and find joy in all the smallest moments.



My first day of my hike will be hiked in rememberance of 32. My entire trip is dedicated to 32.



We will never forget.



RIP Jarrett Lane, Nicole White, et al ♥
