finally...

whew. finally, i am posting. finally, it is the end of august. finally, i have two days of work left and finally, i am almost done packing.

you can see why "finally" was such a perfect title for my blog. next week it will be "finally, i am in california!"

so as you can see by my numerous finally's that it has been a stressful week, month. and my proof, i have had two coldsores...stress enduced...in the past two weeks. i need to calm down...easier said than done.

pace is officially down in california. below you will find pictures of our apartment. i like to call these the "before" pictures. meaning, before katie arrived. cause ya'll know that i love decorating and this apt will be no different. well, i guess kinda. i am going to be incorporating "boy things" into my decor. things like...huge speakers, bigger tv's and pictures of squirrels...yes, i know it is currently on our mantle. soon to be...in the bathroom? i don't even know.

pace and has dad drove down to sunny california a week and a half ago and unpacked the entire pod...in the middle of the afternoon heat. thanks boys! also, you must realize that we have a lot of stuff. most of which is currently hidden in closets and most of which is mine. pace has taken it upon himself to begin to decorate the apartment. which i am not sure he was totally game for. and certainly not something he enjoys. he has done a wonderful job and been a really good sport. i am excited to get down there and add a little katie to the place. it just needs a bit of a "woman's touch."

with all that said...

pace,
thank you so much for all of your hard work making that plain white apartment look like a home.
love ya!

so needless to say, i will be quite emotional this next week. most likely, no blogs. although it might be a nice out, you can't cry in blogs! anyway, our crazy and wild california adventure is about to begin...

finally!
