I never really like to update my blog unless I'm stoned. It is then, that it suddenly becomes the most fitting activity to occupy my whirling thoughts. J & I have recently decided that we are moving to Nebraska. soon. in 13 days. I imagine that an average person would be in a frenzy right now -frantically packing their house, making hotel arrangements, labeling boxes- but not me. We packed the entire house in FL in 2 days. We lived there for eight months. We have only lived here in NC for three. Packing this place should be no problem... I hope.
J got a new job in Hastings, NE; he starts on the 30th of this month. Here are three reasons that I am excited to move to Hastings:
- It is the birthplace of Kool-Aid. KOOL-AID! fuck yes. They have Kool-Aid festivals. Imagine all that Kool-Aid! I bet that that even have special flavors that you can only get in NE. Similar to how you can get ALL the Blue Bell flavors of ice cream in TX, but only a select few elsewhere. Ok. Done with the Kool-Aid rant.
- Hastings, NE was voted Yahoo's 2007 Greenest City in America. THIS. IS. A. HUGE. DEAL. I am a recycling nut. I have never lived in a city that picks up my recycling. I always have to bring it to the center myself. But, if this place was the greenest city in America... I better be getting my recycling picked up.
- IT SNOWS. CONSTANTLY. I am from Texas. I have never seen snow. ever. in my whole life. Now, in 13 days, I will be LIVING in a winter wonderland. WHOA.
I am really excited. Sure, I always worry about small things whenever we venture to a new place, but the excitement always overpowers the worry. I'm ready for something new. I'm ready for it to just be me and J again. and the babies. (dogs) J & I affectionitely refer to the dogs as 'the babies.' Their names are Lily, Luke, and Bentley.
They are my current worry. We will be staying in a hotel for at least a couple of weeks until we get a house. This time we have deiced that we're going to hold out on getting a house until we can get one with a fence for the dogs. They need it. It will be more cost efficient for us to pay to board the dogs instead of paying for them to stay at the hotel with us. blah. I know they will be fine.
J & I are very excited to see how they react to the snow. Earlier I was online shopping for some snow boots, something that I know nothing about. Lily was keeping me company on the couch; her gaze drifting from the screen to my face as if she were saying, "Buy ME something, Mom." I told J that I was shopping for snow boots and that Lily told me she needed some snow boots too... for her paws. J's response was, "Oh, really?." I then went on to say that ALL of the dogs would need boots, their little paws would be so cold, and they would be so cute! Cuteness aside, I really am worried about their paws. I quickly pulled up a picture of dog snow boots and showed J. He smiled and said, "We'll get them boots sweetheart." I was pleased. I continued my online search. And then it hit me. The image of myself knelt down at the door 5 times a day, with 12 tiny boots. TWELVE BOOTS. OMG. Why was this a good idea again?
I am so excited for our new adventure.
