Bye, bye boxes!!

Good morning & happy Friday! I have just returned from the UPS store and shipped out my 14 boxes....I feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted. It was driving me crazy seeing all of those boxes piled up. I was figuring it would cost $500+ and was pleasantly surprised when it came to $401.01. Still a lot but definitely less than movers. Plus, they told me the boxes will be delivered on Friday, May 11th...a week from today, that surprised me as I figured it would take the standard "7-10 business days". It'll work out perfectly because I should be in Lockport no later than next Thursday, Matt takes off out of Buffalo back to Seattle on Friday morning so I'll be there to receive my boxes. Anyone want to help me unpack them? Kiara?? :) ha ha

I stopped at Starbucks on my way home and am enjoying my venti americano as I type. I've really cut down on going to Starbucks lately, I'm trying to be more fiscally responsible and make my coffee at home. I have to admit that it is going to be a challenge for me to have a budget and stick to it. I'm used to being a double income family and now it'll be just me....but I'm sure I'll manage. No more Coach bags or Prada sunglasses for quite some time! :)

I'm going over to Kari's at 3:00 today and then we'll take off to the casino and have a wonderful evening! I'm soooo looking forward to it. Everyone cross your fingers that we win big money!!!

Tomorrow is going to be CRAZY. Luckily Matt is a very organized person and will be very helpful tomorrow while we get everything into the car and tie up any loose ends. I will miss that about him, you can throw him in a room that is a total disaster and he'll have it in tip top shape in no time. We just remembered last night that we have to go to Bank of America and have my name taken off our joint account, oopsie we didn't think about that. Oh-well, it'll all get taken care of and work out.

I'm feeling much better than I did last night. The evenings seem to be the worst for me as far as my emotions running amuck.

I'll do my best to write tomorrow before we hit the road on Sunday morning but am not sure when I'll be able to write again after that.

To all my friends, I want to say how much I am going to miss you and how much I truly treasure our friendships and that I love each one of you! I am very good at keeping in touch so I know that none of us will lose touch.

Talk soon...
