If I were a puppy, I’d be chasing my tail right now… June 3, 2008

I’m pretty sure that excited doesn’t really cover my emotional state right now, but it’ll have to do! I took the girls to Hutch yesterday, and we had a great day. We went and looked at one of the free water play parks they have so the girls could see something fun to do, and then we went to…our new home!! It’s going to be great! The neighborhood is wonderful; it’s semi-rural, barely in the city limits, and full of new construction (yuppy houses I could never afford)…while that may be a little out of my league, I’d rather live there than in a ghetto, lol…We aren’t gaining any more bedrooms or anything, but there is a little more storage in the form of more and bigger closets and a kitchen pantry. It feels a lot more like home than our dinky little apartment! We also ran out to school so the girls could see my room and their rooms. I think it really helped them to see that the place we’re going is “real.” I took as much stuff as I could yesterday, which wasn’t much, but we put away stuff in the kitchen. I’m going up again this weekend (I have an inservice on Monday), so I think I’ll load my car up again and take more with me. I know it’s only 11 days, and I know it’s going to fly, but I wish it would fly faster!! I’m excited to get there and get started on whatever this new life holds for me. I’m getting ready to go to the Landmark with Dawn and Cherylen and a bunch of our coworkers; it should be a great time to say goodbye…I’m pretty sure I’ll never come back here, and, sadly enough, I think that most of the people who helped me through this year will probably simply fade into memories. Not everyone, mind you…I have to keep tabs on my very best friends, and there are a few others I’ll keep in touch with, but we all know that life usually gets in the way at some point. I just realized there’s no point to this blog, but oh, well….I’m leaving it.
