Things are good

My time in Seattle is almost done. I have one week left. In less than eight days I will be in my new home, Madrid, Spain. I am very very nervous. For the past couple weeks I have been focusing on keeping myself distracted. I've been visiting with my family and friends, working at my mom's office, and spending all my free time with Flynn.

I know myself well enough to know that if I had spent the last few weeks stewing in my own thoughts I would have gone nuts. I would have totally psyched myself out. So rather then think, think, and over think my big move I found valuable ways to spend my time.

Last night I went to Allison's house for Wine and Chocolate night. We had a great time. Below is a picture of me with Allison and Lisa. As you can see, we are having a blast. That's what happens when you mix a ton (and I mean a ton) of sugar with several bottles of wine. Those girls are silly.

I have also had the good fortune to reconnect with a former high school classmate, Flynn. We have spent a lot of time together. It has been wonderful. We went and watched Charlie Wilson's War, saw a great band called The Paperboys, and next week we are going to see The Birthdays. We've watched a lot of Futurama. Getting back in touch with him is pretty much the best thing that has happened lately. I am looking forward to keeping in touch with him while I'm in Spain.

This week I will not be working. I will be running around running errands. I have a lot to do. I need to get health insurance, cancel my cell phone, buy travel supplies, and tidy up various odds and ends. Not to mention pack! I am going to have a very busy, nervous week. Flynn is in Las Vegas for a work convention. I am going to try to get as much done while he is gone so that when he returns I don't have to wast time running errands that could have been spent with him.

My plan is to keep this blog as up to date as possible. I am going to use this to show off pictures and share stories. I am not making any promises of quality or consistancy, but I will do my best to make it interesting and accurate. I will also be posting videos on you tube every now and then. My email will stay the same and of course I can be contacted on here.

I'm moving to Spain in no time at all! Hazzah!
