I’m Leaving on a Jet Plane….
don’t know when I’ll be back again. Ok so I’m not really leaving on a jet plane – it’s more like a U-Haul truck. It’s weird to think that the last 4 years of my life can fit into a 14 foot U-Haul truck! I’d be lying if I said I’m not nervous. I am SUPER excited about the fact that I’m finally doing this after talking about moving for the last 4 years. But I’m also nervous thinking about being in a new city, making new friends (I already have a small group of friends down there so that will be nice), etc. And I’m definitely nervous about driving this U-Haul truck! Let’s just say that the couple blocks from where I picked it up to my apartment I managed to run over 2 curbs! LOL I just plan on driving slow and taking my time. If a trip that should only take about 3 hours ends up taking me 6 I don’t care. I just want to get there safe and sound.
Did I say how excited I am???? I’m so ready to get moved, get settled and start fresh. It’s time to close this chapter of my life and leave all the negativity and bad stuff behind. I’m looking forward to the fresh start and a new life for not only myself but Caleb as well. He’s excited about the move but nervous about a new school. I told him it’s ok to be nervous, in fact that’s only normal. He starts school down there on Monday.
I’m still in awe of how everything just fell into place and happened so quickly. Actually my head is spinning over how fast everything happened. If you would of asked me a month ago if I thought I would be up and moved starting over by the end of September I would have laughed at you. I never thought it possible. I began losing hope on ever moving actually. I mean I’ve tried a couple different times over the last 4 years and something always happened that a door or two closed. So I kind of felt why is this time any different? But as one door opened and then another and then another I was like wow it’s really happening. I’m really doing this.
I was thrown for a loop the other day with Caleb’s dad and court and everything but I’ve prayed about it and I’m at total peace with everything. I know that what’s meant to be is going to be and I’m not worried about it anymore.
We have also been wanting a kitten forever but our old apartment charges a $200 security deposit to bring pets so we never got one. The house we are moving into we can have a kitty so it’s ok there. And then my old neighbor (not my noisy, loud, obnoxious one) reminded me that her cat had kittens and they are old enough to take now so we’ve already got a kitten picked out (hopefully it will do ok traveling!). It’s really cute, Caleb loves it and he’s already named him – Spazz Attack. Plus he’s getting a hamster for his birthday and he’s naming him flames.
I’m trying to finish up some VA projects before everyone gets here later this evening to help load my furniture and everything and I have to tear down the computer. My mind is racing about 3,000 miles an hour with everything I need to finish still.
So the next time I make a blog entry I will be living in my new house
Woo Hoo! I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it I’m about to lose control and I think I like it. Yes I’m a dork but hey I’ve never hid my dorkiness before so why start now?

To quote Sheryl Crow, ” I think a change would do you good. ”
I am so stoked for you and Caleb, Tishia! It takes a lot of courage for you to do what you’re doing, you should be really proud of yourself for taking charge of your life. You go Girl!
Now as for the U-Haul…..GOOD LUCK, LOL. I ran into and knocked down a Dunkin’ Donuts sign with a U-Haul a few years ago. I’m sure you’ll do much better than I did though.
Good luck with everything, you and Caleb are in my prayers.
