Wow, only two whole weeks until I am leaving to Louisiana.. and now it feels like a ton of bricks are on my shoulders - great.
I've continued with a little packing here and there, but I don't think I will be packing much until my last week here - I have lots of clothes and don't know which to pack yet.
My last week of work is almost here - next week, on April 26, it will be my official last day at Marathon. There are two others that have the same last day - so we are going to the bar after work to say our farewell. It's going to be really sad for me, as I have been here for four whole years after all. I'll miss the work, the place, the people, everything. Hopefully I can find something that is even better out there though it will be difficult.
I just gave up my files to my friend Kristen that also happens to be my replacement :( I'm so sad.
I am SO excited to be there already though. My friend Linda isn't able to ride down with me - which is pretty upsetting really - so I either have to find an alternate or just go solo. I wasn't expecting to drive the whole 17 hours - and it absolutely terrifies me as I hate driving especially places I've never been (one of my social anxiety disorder symptoms). So I don't know if I should stop and stay the night somewhere or if I should drive straight through. I figure I can leave around 7 or 8 am and then drive for about 12 hours and then stay somewhere and sleep for a few hours and then drive again for 5 more hours til I get there. If someone DOES go with me, I can leave around 8pm and get there around 1pm - I will figure that out eventually.
I'm planning on writing some letters to my closest friends before I leave so that they know what they mean to me - how much I will miss them. This is getting really exciting and hopefully turns into a fantastic adventure.
I have a few pictures to link up.
Tuesday Kristin, her husband, her kids, and I went to get pictures done. It was a nightmare as her daughter is two and wouldn't sit still or smile for more than two pictures. We pretty much just took pictures with the boys and left an hour and a half later with huge migraines. I took this picture of little Daine when we were getting ready to leave and he was so preshhh.
Here is little miss Diva the day before pictures - we had to get her an outfit at the store and she wanted to wear aunt nana's sunglasses.
Snuggling before bed and I saw that he was barely even in his bed. So sweet.
As you know, I am currently in a new obsession (old) that is Supernatural. My little brother got me into the show and now I cannot wait to get home from work just to watch it. It's ridiculous! I love Dean and Sam though. Anyways, there was an Evil Santa episode for Ypsilanti, Michigan (which is where I was raised and currently live) and I thought it was really neat. Nerd.
I am ALSO currently re-reading the Divergent books by Veronica Roth. Seeing the facebook updates about the filming process and where they are with casting is really just getting me super excited about it. Also, yesterday, Veronica released the new title for book 3 - Allegiant! I am a little upset that it doesn't end in "ent" like the first two - but its just a title. I really can't wait to see how it ends!
Daine's cute little face I just want to give smoochies to all day! So precious.
And lastly, my adorable little brother (who turns 21 next week on the 28th)! He passed out while I was watching Supernatural (of course) and it was definitely a photo opp!
I'm getting nervous and getting pretty cold feet about this move, but I am SO excited for the experiences God has in store for me. I really pray that he will help to guide me and that I will have the support required to stay strong through the transition process.
