As I sit here in my new house (wow), I'm reflecting on all the people that got me here. (Picture the acceptance speech from Clueless for the most tardies...). :)
Thank you to the Nagle/Fassler family for boxes and packing paper! Sorry I couldn't make it over for one last organizing job! My own life was chaos, and I needed an organizer. Ha.
Thank you to the Durdens for boxes and tons of emotional support. Cathy gets an extra special shout-out as the Durden who came over to help me unload the POD. She has two kids (one of whom is less than 3 months old) and still came over to carry some stuff armed with a venti iced soy vanilla latte for me! That alone deserves oodles of shout-outs. :)
Thank you to my sis, Jen, and Katie D. for emotionally supporting me last Friday as I packed many many things in bubble wrap. They fed me too. :) And they put babies in my purse.
Thank you to the people at my bye-bye brunch at Hugo's...KT, Jen, and Anne. And waiter David! It was great to go out with some yummy strawberry chai spice pancakes. The mimosa didn't hurt either. ;)
Thank you to my bosses...who gave me a job that was really really hard to physically walk away from even though I'm still a long-distance employee. :) I couldn't help but think back to a time 5 1/2 years ago when I left a job in the entertainment management industry and had to hold myself back from skipping to my car for fear of being seen feeling so happy to leave. This time, there were hugs and well wishes, and I shed some tears. It was nice.
Thank you to my co-workers who are both kicking booty at picking up the slack I left behind. Obviously being 5 hours away, I can't do those daily errands that were a part of my routine. They both supported me with the move even though I've made their lives more difficult by leaving. Thanks!!
Thank you to the Coffeys for helping move furniture and for being great friends! It was so nice to have a bbq to go to the very first week of living here. :)
Thank you to my boyfriend for being on my team for this move. It's an adventure, that's for sure!
Thank you to my dog for being such a good sport during one of his least favorite things in the whole world! He hates loud noises, boxes, bubble wrap, tape, empty places, crowded places....um, pretty much everything associated with a move! :) But he's been a good boy. And guess what, Art---I'm going to be home with you during the day for at least the first month! Prepare to be spoiled! :)
There are many others who have helped me whether they have known it or not make it through this move without feeling too stressed. I worked literally until Friday at 7 and the POD was packed up Saturday morning. There was not much time to see everyone I wanted to see. But this is the start of something good. And I'm excited.
THANK YOU. That is all.
