Rocky Mountain High

So, today was exhausting and emotional. The moving company came and picked up all of my stuff, and it just made everything seem so real and final. I haven’t been in denial about the coming move…just so busy that I really haven’t had a lot of time to think about it. These past few weeks have been moment by moment…which I feel was God’s way of keeping me from having a nervous breakdown. But today, all of my possessions were packed in 38 cardboard boxes (yes, I counted) and loaded in the back of a truck. So here I sit in an empty bedroom that DESPERATELY needs to be vacuumed, and it’s all sinking in. I’m really excited about moving to Colorado, and incredibly pumped about my new job. But of course, I’m nervous. Moving somewhere new is HARD. I have to make all new friends, I have to find a church, blah blah blah.

Anyway, Thursday is the big day. I fly out in the afternoon (if I can find a ride to the airport…ha!), my stuff will (hopefully) get there Friday, and I start working Tuesday. It’s going to be a crazy few weeks, so if you don’t see me on here, that’s why. Also, if you want my new mailing address, just drop me an email and I’ll send it along!

Life Lessons

So, I learned a few things this weekend:

1. Chicken should not be eaten if it is more than three days old (thanks for not saying "I told you so" Sabrina)
2. Food poisoning is NOT fun
3. Saltines and Sprite for two days is not the best diet

I've been gone far too long...

Sorry for the really long absence! I have been SWAMPED with finishing out my job in Hannibal, wrapping up the semester with my classes, and doing some freelance work for Compassion. I can't wait until I have ONE job, instead of three! Actually, the only reason I have time to blog right now is because the program I'm using today is SLOOOOOOOW, and if I don't do something to distract myself while it's loading I may very well have a nervous breakdown!

It's so hard for me to believe that in two weeks I will be leaving. It's so bittersweet. I will miss my friends and church here so much, but I am incredibly excited about the job and opportunities that await me in Colorado.

Friday night some friends from church threw a going away luah for Sabrina and me. It was so much fun! We ate, limbo-ed, played tacky tourist relay, and just had a great time together. It makes me realize how much I will miss everyone.

Well, I kept thinking of fun things to put on this blog, but now that it all comes down to it, I don't feel all that creative. I just wanted to pop in so all three of my readers will know that I haven't given up this blogging thing. I'll try to post more later!
