Everyone's free this weekend, right?
Because I do believe everyone's coming over to my place to do something either Friday or Saturday in celebration of my birthday and in lamentation of my impending move. The question is: is Friday or Saturday better? Let me know.
In other news, it's now June. My birthday is five days away, and we're moving out of Orem on the twelfth. A week after that we're in Vegas; a week after that we're in LA for Alun's training; five weeks after that we're finally in Berkeley, hopefully with a place to live and everything.
I am sad to move away from so much family and such good friends, but I'm also really excited about being somewhere new and shiny. Even in LA, where I'll be pretty much on my own as far as entertaining myself for five weeks, I'm kind of excited to explore (the cool stuff anyway--not the crappy stuff, of which I hear LA has plenty) or even just hang out at the beach and read or something.
And then there's school. I'm a little bit in denial about that, I think. But I'm also looking forward to really using my brain again. Crazy or not, I enjoy academic writing. ...Hence the career path.
Also! The Jeep is up and running and usable again. This makes Alun and me both very, very happy--not least because the task of pulling all our stuff across Utah and Nevada and California falls squarely on its manly Jeep shoulders. Now to pack all of said stuff...
