10 Days...

I feel like the rocket waiting to be counted down for lift off… the stress is UNBELIEVEIBLE! But totally excited! Most things are done but not everything. Work ends tomorrow and the last week will be last “see you laters” that will be hard but I’m a big girl. As my step sister would say “time to put your big girl pants on” (that is going to be my new saying by the way)   I have so much to do and so little time and no motivation.

My dad can’t be happier that I am going out there and I am happy myself. It will be nice to finally hang out with dad. He is now working on my apartment as we speak it won’t be done when I get there but a few months after. This does not bother me at all because I want to get used to living out there before I am in an apartment by myself.

I hope finding a job is easy. I can’t sit for that long doing nothing I loose my mind! And the money I saved only goes so far I mean I still have bills…

The father I nanny for has a friend that moved here from Wyoming and I am going to meet with him sometime this weekend for coffee to ask him 1,000 questions about living out there so I am more prepared. Even though I don’t think anyone can prepare me for this but myself.

I know this blog it totally scattered but that what my brain feels like today and since I have time I figured to get my scattered thoughts out. And what better place then a blog??...

All I know is tomorrow is going to be very hard to specially with the kids I nanny for. I am DEFINITLY going to need a drink after tomorrow last day of work.

**I don’t know if I said this is any previous Blogs but if anyone has any questions or comments they are welcome to ask me or tell me.

24 Days...









9 boxes later and my stuff is 3/4 packed… I have more to do and organize… but of course I have saved the hardest for last as usual. My mentality is “well gee I still have more then a week… aaahhh ill wait another day…”  and well that other day is comin quick!... I finally used my on sale space bags and they are amazing. I fit 12 blankets including a sleeping bag in 2 space bags and they all fit in one Rubbermaid bin! HA it was a happy moment when that happened… but it is the small things in life that keep me going… (that’s what she said)

On another hand yesterday I went to Uhaul in Stamford to check out the trailer I am going to rent to make moving easier to see if it will really fit my couch, bed, mattress and the other few pieces of furniture I have. The people there were really helpful and very nice and I am happy to say it will fit most of my belongings nicely and if not and we need a little extra room we have my dads truck and my car to fill.



Now for a more serious note… I am getting very nervous moving to a total different state where I know NOONE! And it literally is the middle of NOWHERE… granted I will be in the states capital and there are things to do and see but not like what I’m used to here in CT. Don’t get me wrong I am a people person and sometimes don’t know when to shut up so I am not concerned about meeting people… it’s just the “alone” part that I am going to struggle with... And I don’t mean all by myself alone ill have my dad and awesome step mom but I won’t be 5 minutes from my best friend Lola or James or even the other girls that are close to me. I know we have ways of communication like Facebook, E-mail, Web cam and the phone but it still is not the same so this is going to be tricky. I was talking to a girl at work and asked her if it was hard for her to adjust from Indiana to Connecticut not knowing anyone. I also asked her if she had some advice for me. So she told me, “Yes it was hard for me to adjust. I am so used to a calmer smaller town compared to this fast paced city I live in it was hard.” Then she said, “my once piece of advice to you is don’t give up. Give it at least exactly ONE YEAR before you move back or make any rational decisions.” She said it took her one year to find a “click” or “group” of friends she can call and hang out with and trust. Although I will never find anyone like Lola or James out there.  I know I will learn and grow from this experience and hopefully have a great time doing just that… I’m just not looking forward to the tears.

Well my goal it to pack 4 more boxes before my next blog let’s all keep my fingers crossed for that to happen!...

33 Days

So lately I have been throwing around the idea of starting a blog since my life is about to do a complete 360. In December I decided that I am going to move out to Wyoming … yah I know… why Wyoming? Well my dad is out there and since he and I have rekindled our father daughter relationship about 8 years ago I think this will be a great time for me and my dad to spend together. Plus I have nothing holding me here in Connecticut… I don’t have a boyfriend, or husband, or kids, I don’t own a house, or have a job that’s worth keeping… I think this is a great opportunity for me specially now. I’m young when am I ever going to get the chance to live somewhere else? I can tell you that when I am out there I am finally going to finish school so I can finally have my degree and move on with my life and be something successful. What that something is?... I just don’t know yet.

Now that the clock is ticking faster and faster… I have 33 days before I drive the long tiring 42 hours to Wyoming and start my new life. I will tell you that the past few months leading up to this moment have been scary, stressful and nerve wrecking. This experience so far has been a fun one in a weird way. There are people that are very close to me that I have to say “see you later” to not goodbye because ill be back at some point. It has not been easy the worse one and hardest so far has been my friend Lola (that is not her real name but it’s my blog and I am not going to use real names at all.) I told her in January with a bottle of wine and tissues… I found out after that it’s not a good idea to get someone tipsy first before you tell them life altering news… but after crying with her for about a week she is hanging in like a trooper.  She also has 3 children that I am going to miss dearly. There are also 3 other children I am going to miss. Charlie (9), Jane (8) these guys I nanny for and have been with them for about 5 ½ 6 years and being in there life for so long there more then just the kids I sit for they’re a part of my family along with there mom and dad. Then there is my niece Melina who I am going to miss a lot of her life because I will be so far away.  But I do have a web cam to communicate with everyone and there is still Facebook and if you want to get old school there is still writing a letter.

Recently I have been packing up my life and so far I have 9 bins of stuff on top of my cloths that I still need to pack… that shouldn’t take to long. Oh ya… I also bought space bags on sale and I have not had the chance to try them yet but I am looking forward to it and ill let ya’ll know how it goes.  

Well there is a lot more that I can say but it’s getting late and I need my beauty rest for tomorrow so I will write another blog soon and hopefully ill have some followers. I am really new at this blogging thing so easy on the comments.   J
