Reunited!

Just wanted to provide a quick update to the world that MDK and Valentina arrived last Tuesday and we are reunited! MDK made the trip in 3 days and 2 nights stopping in Spearfish, SD and Salt Lake City, UT to sleep. Here is what he saw most of the way-

Valentina was a great sport on the road and I am happy they arrived in good spirits!! We then spent a few nights "homeless" staying at a hotel and living out of whatever we could find that wasn't packed. This past Saturday we got the keys to our new apartment and could start settling in out here. Because we were going up 3 flights of stairs we decided to hire some help with the big items. We were able to unload our 14 foot trailer and a car load in an hour and a half! Here is the U-Haul and the apartment after we had the boxes piled up-

After unpacking all 31 boxes and setting up one of our beds....more on that in another post...we decided to relax and enjoy our new view-


Happy Labor Day!
Have a Nice Day!

Closing a Chapter

As I said earlier, MDK and I are moving to CA and wanted to share a quote I liked-

"Unless you try to do something beyond what you have mastered, you will never grow."

-- C.R. Lawton

I am leaving tonight on the red eye flight home and will spend my last weekend as a MN resident with lots of family, friends, and fun. Tomorrow, I will be attending another wedding (number 5 this summer) and Saturday, MDK and I are going to gather with some friends at Legends for drinks. I am also, looking forward to celebrating my big sister's baby shower on Sunday. I have planned a Milkaholic themed shower and hope to surprise her with all the little details.

I am back in CA on Monday and then have a weekend in San Fran and Napa planned with my girlfriends. MDK will be moving our favorite things with a U-Haul and bring out Valentina with a target reconnect date of 9/3/11. So...here is to hoping the next 2 to 3 weeks are full of good memories, easy travel, and a quick move if possible?!

Have a nice day!

Wanted: Crystal Ball

Just wanted to throw out a want ad for a crystal ball to make my life easier!! Maybe I could dust off my old Magic 8 ball from childhood.


I remember learning in elementary school how to make good decisions started with a list of the pro's and con's. And though at times it would be clear what path you should take...how do you navigate the waters when the path is less clear?

Ugh.

Try to have a nice day-

A Million Miles an Hour

My life just does not slow down! I am happy to say I survived the 3 weddings we had in July and even got a chance to sneak in some cabin time. Also, I had the chance to show my sister the ropes out in California for a week. This July was for sure busier than last years and I am just assuming that this will likely continue as I get older.

The problem is August just does not seem to be looking any less busy either. Another wedding, a weekend in San Francisco/Napa, and a MOVE...yes...MDK, Valentina, and I are taking the winter off for some California sun. More details and things to iron out, but its exciting!


Have a nice day!!
