Glenn, Roxy, and I are moving to Falls Church, VA next weekend =] We are starting a new adventure in attempts to fulfill some goals and visions that we have had for years. I have heard words of wisdom from people older than me, telling me, "if you ever want to experience something new, do it while you are still young, before you have a career and a family to take care of. If it's really something you want, you NEED to do it, or you WILL regret it." So... we are doing it!! We are just picking up and going without any concrete plans. Well, we do have one plan. DJ and Miriam will be housing us. At least for the next 4 months. Glenn and I have talked to FedEx, and our manager is trying to transfer us to a facility in Alexandria. Haven't heard anything yet, but our fingers are crossed.
I had a fever on Monday and Tuesday, accompanied by fluid filling my lungs. Wednesday through today, it's been exhaustion and many upper respiratory issues. So, after an entire week of being sick, I am still not back to full health. I am pushing through it anyway because there is so much to be done still.
Yesterday, Amanda invited herself over (which I totally love that she does, Glenn and I usually don't do much of anything, so it's nice to know she would love to do nothing with us.) We had sushi (of course, sushi Saturday!) and she morally supported me as I started to purge through all of the stuff I have accumulated. Packing isn't an easy task, especially when you have moved before and know how frustrating it is to move crap that you don't even really want or need. So packing in general hasn't been going too well, but purging stuff that we will not be bringing has been going fantastically.
Then, Tina & Ed held a small dinner for me, Glenn and Racheal, just to get a few of us together in one place so we could hug and say goodbye for now. Racheal is starting her own adventure in Las Vegas this week! Very exciting.
I woke up at 7:30 this morning and just finished my homework for the week. Classes have been easy to keep up with so far (haa, I'd hope so, only two weeks in) but my economics course has been ROUGH to say the least. It is ALLLLLL calculus. Gross!!!
Glenn and I were invited to dinner at the Call's house this evening, so it looks like the second night in a row we are being cooked for. Excited to see Mr. and Mrs. Call and spend some time with them.
The rest of my week will consist of more purging, packing and organizing. My lease inspection is the 16th, then I turn in my car on the 18th. If anybody wants to cook us meals, we will not decline. Oh, and we are done at FedEx on the 17th, so if anybody wants to hang out with us that night, we don't have to be in bed at 8 =]
i have your shirt and sweatshirt than=t i borrowed. i was gonna bring it by this evening. but myabe ill cath you this week. have fun with the calls

ReplyDeleteEEEEEEEEEEHEEHEE!! So much to say about all this!
ReplyDeleteFor starters....life is about adventuring and mostly following your heart no matter where it takes you. Doing the things that may scare you, stepping out-side of your comfort zone...challenging yourself...seeing new things..so you can think new thoughts...rise to new occasions...and this is just what you are doing.
.......there are SOOOO many jobs available for the two of you...we will find you both terrific jobs...the only challenge will be the whole one car deal...but there IS public transportation to SOOO many places as well so it really shouldn*t be a problem...and with 3 cars..we will figure it all out. It will be fun.
....i have already begun making a list of weekly activites for us to enjoy....{arts and crafts day/of course our zumba and yoga days/zen day/home spa day/adventure somewhere new day/dog park day/....etc}...we cannot WAIT for your next step to begin and we feel so lucky to get to share this new adventure with you both...
.....it*s so nice amanda has been coming over...i know she and a lot of other people will miss you terribly...and while it is hard at times to leave so many loved ones behind...we ARE only a car or bus ride away and you two have been wanting to get out of ny for a LOOONGGGG LONGGG time now...i agree now is as good a time as any to stretch your wings out and give them a flap or two...have as much fun as possible..and go where the wind takes you two!
My heart is fluttering with excitement as i write this!! ONLY 5 DAYS!! Hoping you are feeling at least a LIL better today and are able to do all the things you planned!!! SO MUCH LOVE!!!
You*re even MORE excited than usual,
Mim*
