Wow, I can't believe I've got one week left. Can everything get done?! Well, yes, it has to.
Not only do I need to pack, but I need to sort my stuff for trash, give away and storage. Now, it's not an out-of-state move before my out-of-state move, like my future roommate, Maryanne, who is moving from Nevada to Wyoming and THEN to Florida! However, I am definitely realizing this with one week left. Hopefully all goes smoothly. :)
On to more awesome news, I'm throwing a party! I didn't want to throw a party for myself, but you all made me ;) Friday, August 6th. Contact me if you want more info!
Something that annoys me... tax-free weekend being during my travel time. It's 6th-8th, but I move in on the 9th! What the heckkk! haha. So, either I'll basically completely miss out OR I will stock up and have my parents send it when I move in! We'll see. Too bad no texts books this time, huh? ;)
Overall boring post, but thanks for reading! Countdown my last week with me!
Have a magical weekend!

TWO Weeks!
Just as you might have read the "3 Weeks" post before this and moved up to this one...that's how fast this week has flown by for me!
Boy, oh boy. I don't know that I'm gonna be able to JAM everything necessary into the next (12 days!) couple weeks. [I leave in 12, start work in 14] I just found out that Renter's Insurance is required and I need to get health insurance, too. Insurance is a luxury in my family and it's quite a daunting task. Luckily, there are temporary policies available and I have several trustworthy grown ups to help me out.
I've got a list. But why? Lists are scary! Lists are useful, though. God-forbid I forget anything! But it just sits there, like, "haha, sucker. I can just relax while you freak out about everything I encompass. Look at this. There's SO MUCH. You can't even cross one off and you're two weeks out!" Don't you worry, list, I'll be successful. And look, I'm acting like a crazy person. Damn.
Anyway, this weekend, thanks to Alyssa, I was able to veg out a little and be a bum. We spent 3.5 days in an apartment in Charlotte. We mostly bummed, watched TV and hung out, but also visted the Concord Mills Mall which is INCREDIBLE (this would be the one with the adjacent DAVE & BUSTERS FTW)! And also searched out the Concord DSW which was extremely exciting for me. It was reallyyyy pretty and a different atmosphere from my store. We also went out for DELICIOUS Chinese, compliments of Alyssa. Mmm. I am super grateful for the opportunity to just hang out with Alyssa and really have a chance to freely veg. Neither of us ever really do that and it was completely necessary for these two busy bees!
Also, lots of people want to see me before I leave - very sweet! Just trying to figure out how to see everyone before I leave... ;)
Have a Magical Monday... (:3

3 Weeks!
Wow. No month has flown by as much as July feels like it is! I'm nervous, but so much more ecstatic!
Exactly THREE weeks from today, I will have finished my very first day in Orlando! I still am in awe that I was blessed with such an incredible opportunity!
So, what am I up to in the next couple weeks?
-Working! My last day at DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse, Inc. will probably be August 3rd or so. July 26th marks my one year anniversary!
-Volunteering! Getting as much time in with my kids as possible. They're my life. I teach the preschoolers on Sundays and care for birth-K during the week. LOVE it.
-Spending quality time with my family and friends before I venture out. I can't wait to have my family with me- o man!
-Preparing, preparing, preparing. Although, I'm not quite sure how. I'm making sure paperwork is fully complete, deciding which clothes and shoes will be reasonable (with an understanding that I'll have to obtain more when I arrive), meeting and getting to know roommates (3 chosen so far! Maryanne, Anna & Bethany) and overall deciding just how much I can carry on a 14-hour train ride!
I'm pretty stoked. And to top it off, I'm getting to travel with the one who was the catalyst for it all - Brogan! What a sweetheart. God has used her in tremendous ways and I cannot wait to travel with her, let alone with the incredible destination that awaits us!
20 days!

Connections.
With time to move quickly approaching, I am anxiously awaiting to meet all of the new people I'll be surrounded by! However, it turns out that they won't all be strangers. You see, I joined one of Disney's college program pages on Facebook and found an elementary school classmate named Will. Now, we haven't seen each other in over a decade, but Disney will be bringing us together once more! We're looking forward to lunch at the happiest place on earth! ;) How cool is that?! I'm super psyched!
PS- does anyone have a decent set of luggage they're willing to lend or donate? I'd be forever grateful!
Have a magical day! (:3
