ok...so I'm here in Canada with hubster and we are safe and sound.

Yesterday was ROUGH. I just wanted to pack up and turn around and head home. I'm not sure what happened but the denial phase was over and the reality of the situation hit me like a ton of bricks...I fought through. literally fought back tears (hidden from hubby) and just practiced with breathing exercises to try and remain calm and collect.

Today was a much better day and although I'm still feeling "lost" at least I don't feel like I don't belong here. All of my planning paid off and we are up and fully running. No problems with getting anything (utilities) set up and I even have my first bill!


btw: what kinda place is this where I have moved...I had to pull out a sweater today. in September...are you kidding me? LOL. yea I know...its only gonna get worse from here!

smooches!

The Big Move

smooches!

Throwback Tuesdays

my mother and I circa 1983

so I went wayyyyyyyyy back. :)

I've been M.I.A. partly because my computer was being upgraded (insert Beyonce's "Let me upgrade you" here) and then when I got it back, I've been crazy distracted just trying to get ready for school.

As I was putting my files back on the hard drive I stumbled over this pic and couldn't stop smiling. If only a Smurfs lunch tin and a uniform was all I needed to be 'ready' for this stage of my academic career!

On a great note: I got an awesome financial gift from a church that I volunteered counseling services to; the check was the exact amount of the cost of books for this semester....PRAISE GOD!

so my books are purchased and I'm feeling more and more loose ends have been tied.

We've got 3 full bags packed- to capacity- and I'm beginning laundry of the last bit of clothes.

The vehicle is fully cleaned/detailed and although there will be a delay in sale (my parents need to use it while their car gets repaired)- I'm feeling better about getting the full amount for it because now there's time to fix a minor problem on it.

So that's me - ready for school... no lunch tin but an awesome leather bag with my name engraved on it. A very cool and unexpected gift from my coworkers.

not quite but very similar to this in two shades of brown:

smooches!
