MERCI À VOUS

Translation - THANK YOU. How to begin to thank the people in my life that have chipped in to help over the last few months, pre eurojules, in big and small ways, thank you. Mom and Dad drove up and helped me pack the remainder of my things and move all of my belongings into a storage unit (friend to friend, get the bigger size. You're gonna need it and if you don't all the better, but go bigger.) Friends that have been saving boxes for me for the last six months, love that you all have shopping problems similar to mine so thank you for buying large items and giving me the boxes to pack a wild amount of belongings into.

Thank you to all the friends that have gone to bar crawls, going away parties and just dinners and drinks here and there the last few months to send me off with so much love, thank you. To all the friends near and far that have reached out to check on how I'm doing with things - mentally, emotionally, etc. I feel like I've been nothing but a spaz for the last few weeks, even month or two just trying to get everything on my to do list taken care of and your "hey checking in, how are you, love you" texts mean the world and go so incredibly far.

Thank you to the friends that have offered to help me do things like pack and such and I never took you up on it because I don't know how to ask for/accept help - something I'm working on but very much a "no worries I can handle it myself" kind of gal but then realize I'm spreading myself so thin and should've accepted the help to begin with. Thank you for popping by for last-minute hugs and goodbyes, and for sending sweet travel gifts to take along with me.

Lastly a very special call out to my freshman year roommate at UD, and best friend of nine years - Carls. Thank you so much for asking me a few months ago who was driving me to the airport - to which I cried and said I didn't know, and sprung into action and said she'd drive down from Cincinnati and drive me to the airport herself. She was the perfect person for the job, who has been around for all the highs and lows of "adult" life and was a power house and kept up with my incomplete sentences and knew what was next in the final packing and prepping days on American soil. Made fun of me, hit me with tough love and a bunch of I'm so proud of you's and I love you's, held my hand as I let go of the city I've built my home and heart in over the last five years and hugged me every time she knew I needed it. I love you so big Cthie, Marycrest 597 forever.

I love y’all so much

Hard to sum up into words what Nashville has meant to me but it is truly the most home I've ever felt with the most amazing people in the world. It's been an honor, a pleasure, a damn fun ride. Yee freakin haw Nash, until next time.

cheers, eurojules
