The Big Move

Last week was hard. So hard.

Saying goodbye sucks. There were too many tears, too often. Every day I had to say bye to someone else. BUT... I'm not looking at it as goodbye... because it's just "see ya later" because, I will just be seeing everybody later. Let's pretend that I am super busy with school and work, so I cannot hang out for the next several weeks.

Thanks to my lovely sister who put together such a cute package of things to get me through my travels!! Loved it, and used MOST of it!

Unfortunately, Glenn and I will not be able to visit NY all too often, because we both have leases, and 12k miles per year doesn't go very far. I have installed the Ding! app on my iPhone, so I WILL be searching for cheap flights to Albany all the time.

The drive down was actually much fun for me, because MiRiam rode with me in my new car, which we named on the way down. It's a good story, I enjoy it, and my brother liked it even more.

Sooo... IDK how Mim always comes up with perfect names whenever I have to name something, but she does. After only a few seconds of being silent thinking, she said "Starla", and I just about peed my pants. I used to have this toy when I was a kid... well... I'll just let the video do all of the explaining...

Pretty fabulous, right?

Well my brother loved to tease me. And mine (or anybody's actually) only memory of this doll, was my brother saying into her microphone "Starla Stupid". I mean this happened over and over again. Sooo.. Starla has a very special place in my heart, in only seemed right to pass that name onto my new civic.

It has been a LOONnGG few days of organizing, unpacking, and setting up, and we are almost ALL done! Which feels great. Thank you SOO much to everybody who helped pack, load, move, unload, unpack, organize, and most importantly MOTIVATE! Your help is soo truly appreciated, and you know that if you EVER need any help, we are there for you back!! =]



This was actually outside of a Home Depot. Make of it what you will.


We had our first "adventure" today. Glenn and I were about to leave to go grocery shopping, but DJ said we should go to this Peruvian chicken place for dinner, so we did. It was quite an experience. I was absolutely apprehensive to begin with, but it was delish. We are hoping for some REAL adventures as soon as we are all done unpacking.

Skype, anybody? I also love LETTERS! Visits are also welcome. <3<3<3
