Let the Packing Begin!

My last day at work was Friday on Free Ice Day. I ran around non-stop from 10:30 that morning until 5:00 that evening when I dodged the mass amount of customers and left. My last day at Rita's! I felt sad leaving, my boss has a lot on his hands witha young family and two businesses. But there is so much that needs to be done to get ready for our big move back to PA, so I had to finish work a little early to give me the time I need to do everything.

Today I finally had the time to really dig into my packing. It feels great to know I will be home in about 18 days! It is a tad overwhelming thinking about everything that needs to be done and figure out which box to pack which in. I have to make sure everything is labled and organized since we are moving into the addition at my parents' for a few months, maybe a little longer. So I won't need really any of my kitchen items and have to make sure they are packed up snug to be stored away until Tony and I get our own house. Organizing is definitely a strong-point of mine, so I shouldn't have a lot of problems!

One of my favorite songs

I absolutely love this song. These are such beautiful lyrics. I wish I could meet Taylor Swift and just give her a hug for writing such a wonderful song with words that really come from the heart. And I can relate to a lot of this song.

Everyone should get this CD! (buy it not download, support her!)

"The Best Day"

I'm five years old
It's getting cold
I've got my big coat on

I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch
And the tractor rides
Look now -- the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep
On the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day
With you today

I'm thirteen now
And don't know how my friends
Could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive
Until we've found a town
Far enough away
And we talk and window-shop
Until I've forgotten all their names

I don't know who I'm gonna talk to
Now at school
I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day
With you today

I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out
He's better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house
And I had space to run
And I had the best days with you

There is a video
I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
And you're talking to me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships
And the seven dwarfs
Daddy's smart
And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world

Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine

And I didn't know if you knew
So I'm taking this chance to say
That I had the best day
With you today

The Countdown Begins...

At last, we are just weeks away from our big move back to PA. This was my first year living away from my family - actually, from leaving my parents' house! I have definitely done some growing up. I remember the first few weeks were really tough. I missed my house, my family, my pets, my old job, my friends, my horses, even my old bedroom. But I told myself that this is part of growing up. I was married now and starting my life with an amazing guy. We got kittens (after 2 days here) and kept eachother company in this unsual town. Our relationship has grown even stronger. I learned to cook, learned I am really good at baking, learned to grocery shop and keep up with bills.

One month from today we will have our little temp. home all packed up in boxes. My dad and grandpa will be in a hotel about a half a mle down the road ready to help us move. And our rental truck will be parked in the spot outside (there have been so many trucks, due to the large amount of military and people moving in and out all the time, at last this one will be ours!) April 10th is the big moving day. Then it is back to PA! There are so many things I am looking forward to, its a feeling unlike anything else I've experienced before! I cannot wait. =]
