Moving Day!

Well, it's finally here! I'm certain we will all be exhausted by the end of it, but I'm super excited to go to bed tonight and wake up in our new home!

UPDATE!

Hi y'all,

Several people have recently, and seemingly in unison, requested that I update my blog.  Hmm, you guys aren't in cahoots are ya?  Nah, that's just silly.

Anyways, here is my update.  It'll be short and sweet.  These days I think about three or four things almost exclusively.  They are:

1. The details and hassles which are the result of an auto accident that was not our fault.
2. The hoops and red tape that must be navigated when buying a house.
3. The millions of details, both large and small, that go into planning a wedding.

So there you have it.  You're all updated. 

Wait, I said four didn't I?  There is one other thing I muse about almost constantly.  Life.  More specifically, how much life can change in a year.  In a few days, it'll be a year since Kurt and I started dating.  I can hardly believe it went by so quickly.  And I'm happy and having the time of my life.  It has been a bit of a whirlwind and it's not showing any signs of subsiding anytime soon...so, I'll try to do a better job of keeping you all in the loop.  Don't be surprised though if it's all wedding plans and home decor discussions...oh and maybe some quilting. :)

Love,
Rach

Coming from behind...

These days it seems I am perpetually behind on everything.  Work, class, life...it's all the same.  Too few hours in the day.  I'm thinking I may need a course in time management...except, I don't know when I'd have time to take it.

Anyway, I've become determined to stop whining and just get some things done.  I thought that since we've passed the halfway point of 2011, (wow, that was quick) that I'd take stock of the 2011 list and see where I am.  I think the thing that's interesting about the list is how it changes over time.  I've updated it, complete with color-coding...so take a look at what I've been up to and what I want to get into.  Click here or on the tab above to see the list.

And, thanks for being so supportive all the time.  Having friends and family like y'all makes a hectic life a full and happy one.

Hugs,
Rach

Another Monday

The start of another long week.  So much to do.  I really don't even know where to begin.  Maybe with a list. Ugh...I hate Mondays. (See below for a graphical representation of my feelings on this wretched day of the week.)  Oh well, no use putting it off any longer, time to get started.

All it takes...

is one really neat old pan, a couple of eggs, and some good conversation to make a happy Rachel.

It's going to be a good and productive day. :)

be a duck, be a duck, be a duck.

If only it were that simple.

Excitement Up, Productivity Down

Nine days.  Only nine days and I'll be on the road with the Burds, traveling to see our friends in West Virginia.  This will be my first trip to West Virginia and you know what that means...yep another state off the list.  I knocked off Arizona earlier in the month, but more on that later.

Right now, I'm just sitting at my desk and getting nothing done because I'm so jazzed about a road trip.  I'm looking forward to spending some time with people I love and miss. I want to see how big the kids have gotten.  I want to laugh when the trash talkers lose at cornhole.  I want to see the places they live and work and know what their lives are like since leaving UA.  I want to reconnect and to know that no matter the time or distance between, we remain friends.  I want there to be laughter, and alcohol and good stories.

Oh, and just one more thing...maybe, some sunshine?  Yeah, I hear it rains...a lot.
