in about 5 weeks we're leaving. im getting so excited i cant sleep at night. its just impossible, with all these things running around in my mind about what needs to be done. it's not even a huge hurdle anymore and i look forward to doing all these things as quickly as possible. on sunday i'm selling all the furniture we have. for the next month we'll just have a bed in the house. what more does one need, right? it's about the only piece of furniture i'd want to keep anyway. that and the chinese chests with butterflies.
jacksonville is not exactly the most happening place but its overseas. and everything about it is new. we're staying in an exclusive golf club resort on the beach and it looks amazing and definitely unlike anywhere i've been before. of course there will be mostly older people there but i'm looking forward to that as well. i've been craving older company lately, i am tired of 20 year olds surrounding me when i go out. i'm surrounded by them all day long and i need a change, even if just to appreciate them again. i want to mingle with 30-40 year olds and have semi intelligent conversations and maybe even feel stupid listening to them. it's a good feeling to be the least knowledgeable in a group instead of the opposite.
and besides, there's larger places like Atlanta nearby and we're going to go up to Washington maybe and other places. i dont even know yet.
it's crazy how much has to be done to relocate to another country for 3 months. now i appreciate more what my family went through when coming here.. although it seems like it was much easier then. grab the kids, the clothes, $2 in US money and head to the airport.
ah well i dont know. i love this feeling though. there's stress and worry of course but besides that, its just all boiling up and exciting and full of change. i know i'll probably be bored there at least some of the time but i cant imagine it now. if i get bored i'll just head to the gym or a bar or the pool or tennis or one of the restaurants at the club. it cant be all that bad. i havent succeeded in making any friends there yet though. there's still time hopefully. maybe i'll meet some businessman's blonde wife there and we can go get manicures done. yeah you can laugh now!
i feel crazy. i keep thinking about meeting some of you and getting incredibly excited too. you know who you are beani. ok im logging off before i explode.
