First Update from Florida :)

After over 30 hours in a moving truck, and going through approximately 5 states and 4 tanks of gas, I am officially a Floridian! Though that was about two weeks ago ;) It has been very busy since I got here, but in a good way! I am still unpacking and working on painting and other fun items on the to-do list. Monday I start work bright and early! Yes, that's right, I have a job! Starting Monday at 9 a.m. I begin my new position as a nanny (something I have wanted to get back into for quite some time).

Things are going very well, but busy. I am just now getting my desk unpacked and set up. Seems as if there is always another box hiding somewhere!

More later, I am on the run (and don't have Internet at home so using a restaurants at the moment). Which, it took me over 45 minutes to find said restaurant as I am NOT used to this town being over 4 times as big as Emporia. Hopefully I get a sense of direction (or better GPS) soon. Until then...

2, 3, 4... In That Order!

Well, the weekend went quickly and now there are 2 days until I pick up the moving truck, 3 days until we head out on the open road, and 4 days until I am officially a Floridian! I am very excited, yet there is SO MUCH to do! :)I am to the point that I am just ready to hit the road! It is going to be a great trip there because one of my best friends, Melissa (also known as Ouiser), is going with me. We are going to make the 20 hour drive fun and stop at a few places along the way. Of course, there will be pictures on here as soon as I get to a computer! Until then, I best get back to it!

8 day and Cloudy with a chance of - - TWISTER!

It's been a rather interesting day! For instance, we were hit by a random thunderstorm that seemed to have popped up out of nowhere and before we knew it turned into a tornado warning. In addition to the chaos, it just so happens that today is also the day that half of the library windows have been taken out! Luckily, the tornado was outside of town on the east side and there was no damage other than branches taken down by the wind; but what a way to end the day!

Other than being a soggy day it has been a good one. I have been working on wrapping things up at work for the next night supervisor, and working on moving details. The moving truck is officially booked and will be picked up Thursday at 8 a.m. For the most part I am packed up, but will need to do my room next week. This weekend I go to say goodbye to my family, so it will be a tough weekend. Though I am sure time will go quickly and quicker than a mad hornet it'll be moving day!

1O Days!

I am only 10 days away from starting the trip to Florida! I can't wait, I miss my best friend and just flat out want to be there already! Granted, there is still a lot to do here, but it is coming along!

In other news, I got my computer back and it as good as new, (if not better). I missed it and have been clicking away at night when I should be sleeping! I actually have a new book idea I have been working on (when I should be working on the layout/design for my new website). But hey, it's production!

More later!

15 Days and ... WOAH, WHAT?!

Time seems to have skipped right by me as we are only 15 days away from the big move. I realized it was getting closer, but it was not until a friend put it into the prospective of "two weekends away" that I choked on the ice of my strawberry lemonade in slight shock. This is all happening really fast, and I know that it is only going to get faster. I'm excited, but I am other things too... though not sure what those things are yet. Nervous? Anxious? Maybe... but only slightly. I'm anxious and ready to get this show (or moving truck) on the road and nervous for the move itself and what comes after the move (which translates into I have a lot on my mind these days). My best friend from Kansas and I are going to be driving a big moving truck 1,054.35 miles towing my 2005 Dodge Neon behind it... this being the part I am nervous about. The trip itself I am excited for, as Melissa and I always have interesting adventures that inevitably result in numerous stories. On that note, scratch the nervous about the trip... we'll make it ;) (I have a feeling 3 people in Florida are placing bets on WHEN we will make it through, hahaha).

Lots to do in the next 15 days, but look for updates here! Won't be long until you'll be reading posts from Florida!
