Countdown

Tom has a countdown clock on the the computer counting down the seconds until we pack up the car and leave Texas. I know I've said it a ton of times but I'll say it again, I'm so emotionally conflicted about this move*. On one hand the weather and terrain here is definitely lacking but on the other hand I have made forever friends here. Not just friendly acquaintances that help me pass the time while we're here, but real friends. Ladies that I can share my secrets with and depend on for emotional support when I need it. So, for the next 33 days all I want to do is spend time with these gals. What I don't want to do is finish this to do list:

• Renew my ID card
• Complete my CO nursing license application
• Apply for and hopefully attain a job in CO
• Schedule a vaccination appt for Bethany
• Mail out Christmas cards
• Complete Christmas shopping
• Close out the bank account
• Pack up the things we are moving ourselves
• Put in my two weeks notice
• Give the dog a bath (right before the move, since she'll be riding in the car with us)
• Finish Bethany's first year photo book
• Finish up some sewing projects

I'm sure there is a ton more I need to do but so far this is what I've come up with. Hopefully, I can maximize Bethany's nap time so that I can get this list finished and still get in some quality friend time.

*So pretty much I have been emotionally conflicted about every move, but this one is different. Probably because this is the only place I will move away from knowing that we will not be moving back. Well, we at least don't think that there would ever be a reason for us to move back. Of course if you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans. :)
