The next chapter has arrived! Friday marked my last day of school and my last day of work. So you could say that today essentially marks the first day of the longest vacation I have ever had. Wes will be joining me in this *total bliss* on Monday, when he completes work as well. It's a crazy time we have entered. I cannot explain to you just how manic the end of school was for me. When I wasn't at the computer lab working on a recipe book, I was at home sewing a quilt (on a machine that is so not made for such a large project), or I was at work with kiddos. I had so many late nights and early mornings and all I could allow for was energy put towards school. And now that school is over I'm faced with the reality that our move is here. It is upon us. It is no longer out there in the future, it is here!!! Because of how one-track minded I was to finish school, friday after my last final wasn't filled with celebratory emotions it was almost more like... sad for me. I honestly feel like I know we are doing the right things and that I wouldn't trade this time for anything but it feels so weird. It feels like I'm just going through the motions of how I know they are suppose to go... I'm sure I will do much digesting and reflecting once sitting by some canal in some europian country.
Until then, there is no time like the present! Our place is in a state of clutter from art projects and clutter from starting to pack up. We had our *last* date night just the two of us lastnight. It felt good to sit and have a moment together. All processing, reflecting, analyzing aside- this next week is going to be plain and simple: FUN.
We have quite the line up of lovely restaurants to take our parents to, our four year anniversary is on thursday, Graduation and Father's day is on Sunday, Monday night we have our final dinner at Avignon bar (the very first place we ate at on the day we moved up here) and Tuesday we start our caravan back to Sacramento quite early.
I apologize for all of the wordy posts these days. With the computer problems I faced and just the stage we are in we haven't taken many pictures worthy of sharing. Though that will all be changing even starting tomorrow. I will be better about documenting our packing and finally days here. Can't wait to share it with you all. Thank you for your constant support!
