Let's all give a warm welcome to Tuesday, the first day of my work week thanks to Memorial Day. And might I mention that today my last Tuesday at work-- woo hoo Summer!!! My departure is long overdue (3 weeks to be precise) and I'm looking forward to getting a little rest.
My Memorial Day weekend was particularly wonderful this year. Saturday I traveled to good ole' Ripley for a wedding shower for one of my dearest friends from high school. And when I say high school, I mean kindergarten. Ellen is getting married in November and I am so excited for her. I loved spending the day with so many of my favorite people; I am so grateful to have been surrounded by these wonderful girls for most of my life.
Sunday was my last day to pack for the move. So, naturally, that's when I did pretty much all of my packing. By the end of the day my room was disassembled and I began thinking back to that day in August 2009 when my parents moved me in. What a wonderful chapter the last three years have been here in the Hollow. But now I'm on to bigger and better things. (Really, it's smaller and just different, but you get the point.)
The sun rose a little too early yesterday as we began loading our 16-foot moving truck a little after 7am. But after only about an hour of carefully and strategically fitting pieces of our lives into the back of the truck, we were on the road. A short time later we were all moved in to our new apartment. That's right. It's ours. [And it's only 2.22 miles from my job- score!!] Of course, I won't actually be living there for about two months but it's so nice to have somewhere that will be our home for the next year or so... while we are looking for a home... it's a process, people.
Now just four more nights of sleeping on a palette on my floor stand between me and sweet freedom. Cue the party music.
