And the countdown begins..

As of July I have made a pretty big decision about the upcoming months ahead of me. I will be saying goodbye to Minnesota until late December and heading off to California for what I like to think of as an "extended vacation". All of my classes this semester are online so there isn't much to do but go to work and sit at home here in the cold. So instead I am going to spend my days after work relaxing on the beach, soaking up a few rays, and spending every chance I get with my husband. Of course I'll be doing homework and such too, but when you've got wireless internet the possiblilities are endless as to where I want to do it!

In exactly 27 days I will be making the ridiculous 30 hr drive to Cali. I'm so lucky to have great company along for the ride. My little brother will be driving his truck and hauling the u-haul out there with the majority of my stuff, and my best friend, Megan, will be helping me switch driving on and off. It's going to be a LONG trip but more than worth it! I haven't even thought about starting to pack yet, but I'm sure the ambition will hit me eventually. The scarriest part is that I'm going to be doing most of this without contact from Bryan. He will be in 29 Palms for deployment training (which I think is absolutely stupid since he's not being deployed anymore anyways) and since it's in the middle of a desert, I have a feeling he won't be getting much cellphone reception out there. Those 3 weeks are going to be the longest and hardest weeks I've had in a long time.

I've just recently bought a matching couch and love seat that are a deep chocolate brown microfiber for our apartment. Now just to find a decent kitchen table with chairs, end tables, TV and TV stand, a few lamps, bathroom decor, and some extra blankets and I should be pretty set and good to go. If anyone knows of anyone getting rid of any of these items, I would really appreciate a heads up. Until then, I'll continue with my search on craigslist and pendeltonyardsales.com.

That's all for today. I suppose I should be getting some sleep since I work bright and early tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great rest of their weekend and is living life to the fullest.
