So I am currently in Temple, TX and have started work. I live in the Travelodge which is AWESOME...not. I mean it's not the RItz or anything but it isn't a bad place to be for the time until my apartment is ready. the only thing I don't like is that the crickets here are massive and they like to hang out in my room. Crickets are lucky, I get that but that doesn't mean they don't freak me out any less. I put a towel down in front of the part of my door that I watched one crawl under this morning. It totally freaked me out for sure cause at first I thought it was a spider but then it slid down and I realized it was a cricket. I had three of them in my room this morning. It was not fun. However, when I came back there weren't any live ones that were making themselves known. Just a dead one. I'm hoping it stays that way for the rest of my time here cause they are not welcome in my room, AT ALL. I really hope I didn't jinx myself. Time to un-jinx...Jinx back, double pinkie, round the side, double pinkie, jinx back!! There...I feel better.

This weekend I'm going to visit Anthony! YAY! I cannot wait! I leave Friday and I don't work Monday so I'm staying in San Antonio until Monday afternoon! I'm SO EXCITED!!! Speaking of work, it's massively boring right now. All we do is sit and listen. It's been two days of powerpoints and I'm so glad that they are winding down cause it was getting hard to stay lively in orientation today. I have two more days of GNO, general nursing orientation and I'm not sure what I have going on Friday then I have a 3.5 day weekend! Pictures of this weekend to come. :D

T-minus 2.5 days til San Antonio!! :D
T-minus 10 days til apartment move in and Mom comes!!

Went to TX last week and it was pretty neat. WAY different from AZ. Really. But I like it. The hospital that I'll be working at is quite huge. The campus is so vast and really spread out. Unfortunately I have no pictures to show et cause I didn't remember my camera this time around. But the town isn't that exciting. It's small but there is a loop that goes around it and the I-35 cuts right through it. I go back on the 29th and have the pleasure of staying in a hotel for two weeks until I can move into my apartment. It kinda sucks but oh well, such is life. I already have planned out what furniture I want to buy when I first move in. I just don't know what colors I want my rooms to be. I can't paint or anything like that but I want to have fun colors to liven up my place. So far the only color I have to work with is a wine purple color that is my duvet cover. It's really pretty.

I can't wait to go back, start work, move into my apartment and of course SEE ANTHONY! I miss him SO MUCH. Today is our 4 year anniversary and he sent me flowers and the sweetest note. As soon as I read it I cried cause I'm a sap. But I really love him and I miss him terribly. Hopefully I get to see him the first weekend in September.

Well Thats all here. It's raining really hard and I need a shower since I've been cleaning my room all day long. I think i'm making massive progress.

So I'm pretty close to almost being almost done packing. Does that make sense? I hope so. Anyway...I'm having this complex about packing cause that means that I'm really moving away which is sad for me. I want to leave but I don't at the same time. The other issue I have with packing is trying to decide what is really important to box and ship and what can just stay here. I need to talk with my mom and see if I can leave many of my little knic-knac's here cause I'm not sure how many of them I want to bring with.

Moving is a sucky way of figuring out what material items are really important to you. Especially when you are shipping those material items.

Blarg...

End.

I absolutely love my life right now! Even though I can't move into my apartment in Belton until Sept 9th and I have to live in a hotel for two weeks after my start date, I'm still wicked happy! Perhaps it's because I BOUGHT A CAR YESTERDAY!!!! I'm still in surreal land at this moment...but I'm super happy. It's a 2010 Kia Forte Koup SX! I can't believe how grown up I feel at this moment...new car, new job, new apartment, new city. Scary but exciting. I'll post pics of my car very soon!!!
