well, here i am. two weeks away from my very last day of work. and 16 days away from leaving utah.

how do i feel???

I'M FREAKIN' OUT!

okay, i really am wiggin' a little but in complete honesty my feelings right now pretty much run the whole gamut of emotions.

i feel stressed because there are a few things that haven't gone quite as smoothly as I had hoped. i.e. closing up the lease with the property management company and getting my belongings from utah to iowa. it'll all work out. my big problem is trying not to be in control of every tiny detail of every little thing. i bet you're shocked.

i'm sad. sad to leave the mountains. sad to leave my best friend. sad to be so far away from moab. sad to rip my puppy away from his best friend, molly. i'm sad because i worry that adventure will be harder to come by in the flatland.

i'm so stoked. i'm excited to live REALLY close to my nephew. i'm excited to take him camping. hiking. swimming. canoeing. i'm looking forward to being near all of my family. i'm looking forward to celebrating birthdays. thanksgiving. christmas. holidays. together. i'm beyond pumped to start a new job. in a new place. with new people. who are excited to have me. and i'm excited to have them.

i'm happy. happy that my bff and i are crossing a lot of things off of my bucket list. i'm happy that all of my stuff is packed. i'm happy that my apartment is entirely cleaned. spic and span. ready for an inspection. ready to no longer be a part of my life. i'm happy that my going away party is a themed party. white trash bash...don't miss it. i'm happy that i have my pup to share this new adventure with. we're gonna have so much fun. i'm happy that i don't have many more days of work left. very happy. i'm happy that i need to go shopping at the D.I. to purchase something to wear to my going away party...seriously, don't miss it.
