Okay it's here! I'm finally leaving! The date is set, the clothes are out(well at least more organized than usual) and I'm filling up boxes baby! Who knows what is gonna happen in the next few little weeks. I am a little disapointed to leave because I just discovered yesterday that my favorite author in the world, Tamora Pierce, will be in Portland October 18th, and I alas, will not be. So frustrating, maybe one of my siblings will go and have her sign a book for me? That would be exciting! But still so disapointing!
Despite that, I'm excited to go. I haven't packed to move in like 2 years! So we shall see what I forget and what I should have left behind. I want to bring all my books, but we'll probably only take about 6 or 7, and then a couple suitcases of clothes for now. I am taking the mini cooper of my mom's though! Only for a little while, but I will be stylish for a little while anyway. My main focus is to get a job there, and goodness I hate that part. Can't wait to go see old friends though and make some new ones, best part of all!
I did make applesauce with mom and dad yesterday. It contained red hots, which gave it a pinkish hue and a little extra festive flavor. I got to peal the apples with a fun contraption that you turn, and it cored them at the same time in less than 10 seconds! SO much fun. But the rest of my life will be packing for the next few days! Wish me luck!
