Holy crap, I forgot how annoying and messy it is to move! Yuck!
Everything I own is basically in a box...
I figured out the other day this is my 9th move in 11 years...um, wow...that makes me seem very unsettled! Hopefully this will be the last for a while, cause as I said, yuck, moving is messy.
The big day is coming up really quickly...as of right now it looks like we actually might be ready! Holy crap, right?! I know...Grande and I, actually prepared for something! Yikes!
The next couple of days should be fun. Tomorrow is family day, dinner with my parents, my little brother and my grandmother. Monday at work the girls at the office are taking me out for sushi, and then on Tuesday, not only is it my last day of work (WOO-freaking-HOO!), but Grande and I are going for sushi with my brother that night.
I really think out of my whole family I am going to miss him the most...we are only 3 years apart, and our entire lives up until I was about 19 we spent all of our time together...over the past couple of years we weren't very close, but recently we have been hanging out a lot again, so it will definitely suck not having him around...right now I am not trying to think about it, it really will only make me sad... :-(
For right now my focus in on packing, packing and more packing!

Less than ONE WEEK!
Holy shit...I am moving to a new state in less than a week. Needless to say everything is a mess in my life right now...there are boxes everywhere in the house. I almost killed myself getting ready in the bathroom today...I tripped at least 3 times over the boxes in the bathroom. The cats of course are freaking out...at first they didn't seem to mind the boxes, they played in and around them...using them as kitty forts...but now that almost everything is boxed up, they seem a little skittish. Poor kitties... :-(
Wait until Wednesday night when all the furniture is gone, they are going to freak!!
I just can't believe that next week at this time I will be living in another state...wow...seriously I always thought I would be in PA for the rest of my life...this is so wild.
I think I am dealing well with it, I know I will cry, but hopefully not too much! ;-)
This is my last Friday living in PA...wow...so weird...

Home Sweet Home!
We have a place to live!! Grande went up to the magical city of Ithaca earlier this week and he found us a place to live.
We have started packing our current place...we have so much stuff, and right now it all seems to be books...boxes and boxes of just books. I don't know what that says about us, but it really looks pretty nerdy!
But I am at least happy that we now have a place to live...it was a concern, finding a place in time. Of course, I still haven't seen it, but all the pictures are really nice, and I trust Grande and his parents when they said it was nice. :-)

Irony
When I was 12 my parents bought their first house. It was on a really nice suburban street in down-town Hershey. It was one of those really quiet and safe neighborhoods, the kind with street lights and lots of trees.
I made a new friend after moving onto this street. Now I had always lived in Hershey, but before it was a little bit more of a shady neighborhood, not so nice and a really busy street. Anyway, back to the friend, we will call her M. M was great, she was different than all my other friends. Very musical and happy all the time.
By senior year of high school, M and I were still really good friends. But being from very different families, she went away to college, and I went to work at a shoe store in the Hershey Outlet Mall.
M ended up going to Ithaca College for music. Every time she would come home from school we would get together to hang out and catch up. She made Ithaca sound like such a wonderful, magic place.
Maybe it was just that I was still living in Hershey, selling shoes part time, making 5.00 an hour, but wow...did I ever want to go to Ithaca. It just seemed like an entirely different world...so far away from Hershey.
11 years later, I am still here...still only 8 miles outside of Hershey...but in less than a month, I am moving to that mythical city of Ithaca, the city that gave me hope when I was a 'townie'...hanging out at local bars, trying to relive old times with my high school friends who had moved onto their new lives.
It seems so strange now thinking back on all of it...how I completely idealized a town and made it my dream.
Okay so maybe it is a little bit weirder that I ended up meeting a guy from Ithaca...not to sound really crazy, but kind of almost like it was 'meant to be' or something incredibly cheesy like that. But come on, you have to admit it is a little strange...just maybe a little!
