I am packed!! Nothing like waiting to the last minute. Yay for friends who come over and help you get your butt in gear to clean and pack! (Thank you Tamera)
Well the week of the move has arrived. Today is my last day at work, and yes I am very sad to be leaving. It’s a little scary to think that by this evening I will officially have no job. I have been told by many of you not to freak out about this. Ha. Actually I am currently pretty calm about the whole thing. There will just be a lot of running around once I get there, but I’m sure something will come along.
The plans for this week:
Tuesday will be our chance for last good byes. Rachon and Erik will be heading up from Oregon on Wednesday and will meet me in Vancouver. From there we will drive to Federal Way and pick up the rental truck we decided to get. We hope to have the truck all packed up by that evening. Then, come early Thursday morning, we will be on the road. Hopefully we will make the days 8-9 hours long. We will have the truck (which will be towing Rachon and Erik’s car), and my car. That makes three drivers for 2 vehicles. We plan to switch off driving every couple hours so people don’t get too tired. All in all it should take us about 6 days to get there.
I want to thank all of you who were able to make it to the going away party. It was great to see you all. Thank you everyone for all your support. It sounds really cheesy, but I really don’t know how I would be doing this if I didn’t have your encouragement. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Oh and I love the comments I have been getting. If you are having a hard time leaving a comment email me and we can set you up.
Love to you all

It's an Adventure!
Well I figure it's time for my first post! A little background on this blog....
For those of you who didn't know, I am moving to Connecticut in August. I am super excited!! My friend, Rachon, was accepted to YALE (we are very proud), and her husband, Erik, was accepted to LAMDA (an acting school in London). He will be there for approximately 7 months. I couldn't very well let Rachon go to New Haven all by herself now could I?! So I volunteered to go with her. (I know, I am too kind.)
Rachon and I flew back to the east coast at the end of June. It was a great trip. It gave Rachon a chance to see her school, me a chance to go to an interview, and time for us to look for an apartment.
The school was wonderful! YALE Divinity school is all in one building which will be nice. No truckin' around the whole campus! Rachon was quick to note the pianos placed around the building for student use. I would say the best part was the library. They have a library like Belle's in Beauty and the Beast!
It's gorgeous.
My interview was so-so. I didn't get the best vibe from it. Still it was good to sit down with them. I don't currently have a job lined up out there, but I do have a couple leads. Hopefully one of them will work out.
Our search for apartments turned out to be very interesting. We saw quite a variety of places. After visiting about 7 different places, we finally picked an apartment. It is the second floor of a three family house. It's in a great neighborhood and very cute! We were very happy with our find!!!
Currently we are getting ready for the actual move. We are leaving 8-7-08. Less than 2 weeks away right now! I have been very excited about this trip but am starting to get a little nervous. But as many have told me, "This in an adventure." And I believe that I am ready for an adventure.
I will be using this blog for our journey out east. So if you wish to follow my trip, feel free to stop in and read all about it!
Thank you to all who have been so supportive about this whole thing!
Much love
