Bon Voyage!!

Today is the day I've been waiting for, for SO long now! 


Here's the plan:
Leave Fountain Hills at 10 am heading to PHX airport
Pick up dad at 10:51 am
Leave airport heading to Colorado
(I'm hoping to stop in Chicago since I've never been before and it's about 20 minutes off of the route)
Go from Colorado to Montauk! 


Yes we are going to Montauk, NY instead of Boston because I want to spend 4th of July in Montauk with all of my friends. My sister and her boy friend Justin are coming to Montauk on July 30th and then I am leaving Montauk on July 5th or 6th. Not sure yet!


I am super excited and totally ready to go! I will try and post as much as I can throughout the trip but I'm not sure how I will have wireless and stuff so if I can't post I will totally update you when I get there or get a change to!

Ready, Set, GO!

In 16 hours I will be on my way! I have so many emotions going through me right now it's hard for me to even think straight. I know what I am leaving behind in Arizona, but I don't know what I am heading toward in Boston. All I can do is think positive and hope for the best. My dad is arriving at about 10:45 am and I am picking him up from the airport and immediatly heading on our way!


(MANY PICTURES ON THE WAY, I'M SURE)


Today was my last day of work at Dj's. Very bitter sweet. I am sad to see my amazing coworkers go, but it had to happen sooner or later I guess. Johanna made me 8 CDs for my roadtrip! Super excited to find out what's on them :)

As for Shelby; I love him no matter what and I am dreading tomorrow for that very reason, but if it's meant to be, one day it will be. Until then I have to do something for myself for once. I have been living for other people for too long. I will never forget Shelby and I'm upset it had to turn out the way it did, but everything happens for a reason. 

Well, I'm going to swimming with Ed and Bethann for the last time! I'm going  to miss them!!

A Little Bit Stronger

My life definitely has been stressful lately. Moving out of state and transferring schools is a lot of work. I am so thankful for the people in my life who have been making it easier for me to get through this difficult time. I have to keep looking at the big picture when I start getting upset. I know this is a good opportunity for me but I never thought it would be this hard. I am leaving the life I have worked so hard for, and going to a place I have really never even been to. It is both exciting and nerve racking. My life at this point is far from what I hoped for it to be, and I have a lot of faith in this next chapter in my life in Boston. 

All in all, I truly think I am getting stronger day by day. I don't hurt as much as I thought I would, and I pray I am this strong when I actually leave Arizona. 

Time heals everything.

12 Days

I only have 12 days until I leave. It's a bit depressing at this point. I still have so much to do with school and my apartment. But I am still excited to leave.


My dad and I decided to drive through Colorado and up the Northern route rather than the Southern route due to the recent Tornados down South. It will be a bit longer of a drive but I've never been up North anyways so it will be a nice change of scenery.


And we also have to cut our drive short because my cousin Dylan is graduating high school so we have to be in NY by the 24th. Anyways, I'm still quite excited, but I can't believe it's only 12 days away... A little upsetting at the same time.

I Got Accepted!

I will officially be attending Bay State College! At 10:30 AM I received a phone call from Colleen from Bay State College. She told me the board reviewed my transcripts and I was accepted! It's really a very exciting moment for me. This school is exactly what I want from a school; small class sizes, good location, etc. Yes, tuition is going to be WAY more than Scottsdale Community College, but I'm hoping to work with financial aid which will make it a lot easier to manage. 

All in all, today was a good day. Now that I know where I am going to be living and going to school, all I have left is to find a job! Everything is falling into place.

:) 

Countdown!

Move out of apartment: 3 days

Leaving Fountain Hills heading to Boston: 17 days

June 1st!

I can't believe it's already June 1st... I have 6 days to be out of my apartment. I have so much to do still.

Memorial Day was pretty fun; went tubing down the Salt River with my friend Jordan and her boy friend Josh. I'm glad I got to go tubing at least once before I left Arizona. 

My dad's girl friend decided she couldn't come due to work issues, so it is just going to be my dad and I going across country. That's fine with me because that means I can fit more in my car!

Still no luck with a job, although I've been applying like crazy.

I am still a bit nervous about this whole move. I know in the long run it will be a good, positive experience, but I still have a lot of doubts about a lot of things. I guess we will find out! 

Today I will be packing and laying out by the pool! Loving my days off lately! :)

Countdown! 

Move out of apartment: 6 days
