the day is finally here!!! everything i own is in a box to the left....to the left..to the left....
the U-Haul is all packed. i've said my goodbyes. i've cried some tears (only thanks to the U-Haul company's poor reservation system). and we are westward bound early in the morning, after breakfast with my parents and brother. i still don't think it's hit me yet, and i forecast that somewhere between Sioux Falls and Rapid City, i'll become a soppy mess of waterworks.
i'll do my best to post updates, but who knows where we'll stay. perhaps the back of the truck. just move a couple boxes and crash on the couches.
farewell KC, you've been good to me. oh, so good. no need to fear, i will not forget you and the good times and great friends you've given me.

the clock is ticking down
there i go again....not blogging.
it just seems like i've been too busy. i do feel bad for not keeping everyone up-to-date on my life, i promise to do better. here's a recap of the past several weeks:
i turned the big 25, and it was bittersweet spending it with my family and friends, knowing that it was my last birthday here in KC.
my time here is dwindling down, and i've reserved a U-Haul, notified by Starbucks manager, and am slowly getting everything packed into boxes. i move to Seattle in 9 days!! EEEEEEK!! i'm scared. i'm excited. i'm ecstatic. i'm sad. i don't think it's really hit me yet, i kinda still think it's just another visit and that i'll return again. (well, i will return 2 weeks after i move, but just for a weekend wedding) i still have a lot of preparation to do, the house is in disarray, and i can't even think straight.
between weddings, work, packing, i have managed to do some running. not as much as i would like, but i'm at least keeping an 8 mile base. i'd still like to do the SeaFair Half Marathon the weekend after i arrive in Seattle, but we'll see what transpires between now and then.
i'm more concerned about finding a job AND place to live, than i am about training for a race. i'm sure i'll have plenty of time once i get settled in out there to focus on training, when i'm homesick and missing all my family and friends. (i'm going to go cry now)
