Day 4 in Wyoming and the week before.

I have been in Wyoming for 4 days and I still feel like I am on vacation...
Let me start by telling you about the last week of work. It was April 1st and a lot of people were asking me if it was an April fools joke and as cool as it would be if I was that good at starting a huge joke like that it wasn’t. Leaving the Museum was a whole lot easier then leaving the kids I nanny for. I did really good at not crying in front of them until there mom hugged me and she started it the tears form her made me cry. But I stopped it after that because I didn’t want the kids to think that it was a sad thing me moving but it was a good thing.(it is a good thing) Those kids are wonderful and they will always be a part of my life. When leaving there house getting in my car I cried so hard I pretty much couldn’t breath I called Lola to calm my self down and oh man I pulled over the car and had to regain myself. It was very hard to this day I still can’t read the card they got me because its that green and pink guy going no don’t go don’t leave us were going to hold on to your pants no don’t go…  I mean I have been with them for about 6 years and they have been a big part of my life. But after that day ended it was time to P-A-R-T-A-Y!!  and MAN was it NUTS there were so many people and so many good laughs… I want to thank EVERYONE who came out to say “see ya later” it was a good night. Even when the neighbors called the cops they came on our yard took 2 steps on our path and said we cant even here you out here have a good night. It was cool!
The Saturday after my going away party I went out with my roommate Cara and her boyfriend Don and our friend John to Buffalo Wild Wings and it was good to have some wings before I left. Then on Sunday I hung out with Laura and her boyfriend Eastwood and our friend Ben and had really good burgers at this burger place in Greenwich… I forgot the name… anywho she fixed my hair because the last time it was done there were a few spots missed and Laura did a GREAT job!
The rest of the week was seeing all my friends and family
I had dinner with my sister and my niece on Tuesday and it was a good dinner! The best part of the night besides hanging out with my sister was she gave me a jar full of my mom’s ashes to take out here with me. Then we had pizza and it was good pizza then we just talked a lot and hung out. I waited to leave for when my niece was sleeping because she is so cute. And then me and my sister stayed up talking until I had to go because I had to sleep.
Wednesday I had my last girl’s night with Lola and my “best friend“who is 6 years old (Lola’s daughter)… Selena and her twin brothers Neil and Bob (lol at Lola) put a little party together with a cake that Selena made that was VERY amazing for a 6 year old! Hell even a 23 year old! 
(this is the cake funfettie cake with chocolate frosting)
 Then we died Easter eggs!! (one of my favorite things to do in the world) And then we had Villa Italia and they stayed open just for us. And I am telling you now I am craving that brushetta (this is not how you spell it but that what is sounds like) so last girl’s night was pretty Awesome!
Thursday was family day... but before that Dad came to the house about 11:30AM to pick up the U-Haul and that went very smoothly and then dropped it off at the house and left then I had things to do. I went to Home Depot to get rope then to Grandpas for what we called “Coffee And” because he wasn’t up for a full dinner. But my Aunt Jan and Uncle Bill was there with Grandpa and Mary then it was great we had coffee and cookies and talked for a good 4 hours or so. I also saw May in the office downstairs before I left which was nice. We chatted for about 30 min and then she had to leave. Then after our “Coffee And” I went home and slept.
Friday, Lola and her 2 boys Neil and Bob, my friend C.J. my uncle and my dad loaded up the U-Haul and made sure nothing was going anywhere. And it was good.  After that I showered and left for Norwalk I went to the Museum to give them the boxes I didn’t need to the box exhibit for the museum and I also got my plant from my manager to take it with me. Then after that I went to see my Grandma and teach her a stitch in croche that I learned then I got my baby cone from Mr. Chubby’s (my last cone in CT) then headed to grandpas again this time my sister, my dad and my niece were there talking  at around 3PM I headed to my Nanny jobs house to drop there gifts off and I was on my way back to Stamford to meet Lola to go to my Chris Cornell (this is his real name he’s too good and too pretty to give him a fake name) concert in Bridgeport so me and Lola left to go to Bridgeport around 4PM and wanted to beat traffic we ended up going to this little Irish place in Bridgeport to eat and have a drink and take our time before we go to the concert. And we got to the concert on time and the place was very pretty it was kind of like the Ridgefield play house let me tell you the guy before Chris Cornell was very good. I liked his music and then friended him on Facebook. So I can find out more about him… I forgot his name though it was something like Winslow Elliott or something like that… anywho then Chris Cornell came on and OMG it was the most amazing show I have ever seen! He sang every song I ever wanted him to sing! It was so good me and Lola Cried. It was the MOST AMAZING ever! Best send off anyone will ever have ever in a life time! I can go on about how awesome this show was but it was so good there are no words! Ugh amazing.
I got home at around 12:00AM and woke up at about 3:15AM to pick up Angela then went to go meet daddy to take the drive we first went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland
(Rock and Roll Hall of Fame)
it was very cool. Then after that we took the drive to Wyoming… that drive was the most longest, tiring, boring, awful, scary drive ever but all 4 of us made it after about 40 hours… 
It has been about 4 days out here and I have experienced every kind of weather in 4 days that I have been here… warm, sunny, windy, CRAZY windy, snow, rain, winter mix (in spring), cold and cloudy. I think that’s about it. But wow it’s been crazy weather. I have been here with my dad and his wife and her son.  And we all get along well and it’s going to be interesting for a few weeks.  Hopefully next week I’ll start looking in the paper and Craigslist for a job and also doing car stuff like switching over my car insurance and registration and getting an official Wyoming License…
Getting used to the elevation up here sucks… everything you do you feel tired and out of breath. I took the garbage out the other day and I felt so out of shape it was ridiculous walking to the car and moving is an effort… dad says its takes a few weeks to get used to… I am more of an instant gratification person that wants the results now. I want to breath normal now lol. But besides the weather and the getting used to the breathing OH ya and the time change… you would think that 2 hours wouldn’t make a difference but it sure does. It confuses you and then when I want to call home I have to think of what time it is.



(this was in Iowa Largest Truck Stop in the world!)

2 Days

Holy Moving in 2 days Batman!! Well the Uhaul is outside the house and the reality still really has not hit me yet. My packing is finally done.  All I have to do now is go to the Post Office and change my address and to the Gym to cancel my membership. I have some of my CD’s ready and I am going to clean my car out today.
I thought now would be a good time to write but I am at a loss for words. There is a lot going on this week. A friend of mine lost his sister and it is a very sad time for a lot of people I know. I did not know her but I know that she will be missed. I will be sending my positive thoughts to her family and friends.
So with that I am going to stop this blog here and add more later when my mind is clearer if that ever happens.
