Day 3

A fresh start to a fresh day!
Of course we did what you expected us to do... Loading the truck with our huge heavy wooden furniture! Realizing "YES" we need an additional trailer. So, Joey (Tony's little brother) and I went to get the trailer and fill the truck up with diesel fuel.. That turned out to be the hardest thing to do since in Vegas apparently not many gas stations sell it. After getting our final trailer (6x12), we had to go to  three different gas stations before finding one that sold it!
We spent the rest of the day........ Packing the trailers! HIRE MOVERS!!! Once that was done around 6 pm, I took dad and little bro to THREE different store to find "tie downs" for the move. Apparently 3 is my number today.. 3 trailers, 3 gas stations for diesel, and 3 stores.  Hmmmmmmmm.....

I spent the rest of my night cleaning my now mostly empty home and then blogged! I enjoyed the blogging though.  Lol

At the end of the day... Yep! My house is empty and I feel pretty much completely ready to move on to my new adventure in life!

See ya tomorrow!

Day 2

I woke up so happy thinking of my going away the night before. I picked up my phone and saw numerous Instagram notifications from my friends whom had posted the cutest collages and the most wonderful messages below them to me. I knew that even though I was leaving, I would always be able to count on them to get me through my days. 

Tony's dad and brother were driving out today to help use with the move. They were bringing an 8x16" trailer to add to our 20" uhaul we rented. Tony and I finalized some things around the house before picking up the uhaul. Our great friend and neighbor Cassidy came by to help us load the beast.  Tonys family arrived just in time to comtinue with the bigger items. Blah, blah, blah, stress, stress, STRESS! That is all I have to say! HIRE MOVERS!  That's my tip for the day! It's better on you mentally, physically, and everyone around you as well!

Around 8pm we said "to hell with it!" And we done for the day. I ended up running to the store for Airborne and Zicam! Hell not I am not letting us get sick now.  My husband and I both started having symptoms (probably from the stress).

At the end of the day I noticed it seems to be getting easier for me to leave.  I feel as I load the truck I am starting to let go.  

Oh! And we also loaded up the trailer his dad brought and realized we have WAY to much shiz! We may have to go get another uhaul trailer.  Yes... Making three!  Ugh!

Good night!

Day ONE of working for ourselves

I woke up knowing I had to finalize packing and address changes etc all day. I found  myself filled with exuberant amounts of anxiety, in front of the bathroom mirror staring at myself thinking "WTF are you doing? Your leaving this 1 yr old home you just built exactly how you wanted it, a city you have lived in for ten yrs, where most people want to be, with everything imagine able at your fingertips, and most of all, all of my amazing friends that are like family to me; for an 85 year old gas station with a house on top, in a small teeny tiny town where there is only one restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch, and then my gas station that serves pizza for the town." Then I quickly snapped out of it knowing I was doing the right thing for myself and my family.


The day went by with me not getting everything done before I went to my going away dinner with my amazing co-workers who are actually like family to me and the people I will miss most in LV.



I can't wait for us to get to Collbran and settle in, to get to know all the amazing people in the town. People there are so nice, hospitable, and non-judgmental. That is a big thing in Vegas, is people are just not as friendly. They barely look at you to smile, and if they do look at you they don't usually smile unless they know you.



So at the end of the day.... I am extatic!   Collbran, HERE I COME!!!
