One Week

It's starting to dawn on me that this is my last week in Missouri. I'm having conflicted feelings about this. I of course feel nostalgic,  but not in a bad way. In more of a "that was fine, but let's do something different now". This move really signifies us becoming adults, which is weird since I've been trying to be an adult since I was, like, 12. Now ten years later it's actually happening. Granted, I've been in transition for the past few years, but this is much more like the real deal.

My parents have been really good about this as well, and that has helped more than I can say to have their support, even when I'm doing something they wouldn't necessarily choose for me. They know they have to let me go do what I need and want to do, and it's a good feeling.

Because I am excited. Truly, deeply excited. After all the tests, applications, waiting, decisions, blood, sweat and tears to get to this point, I finally get to sit back and enjoy the adventure. I am done planning for now. I am done setting and meeting deadlines, I'm done worrying about my future, and I'm done struggling with deciding what is best for me.

In other news, I accomplished two things today. I found our three-legged puppy to adopt and I fixed my keyboard. The keyboard is boring, but I'm still excited that I was finally able to dislodge the battery stuck in my sweet wireless keyboard. I had been using a shitty corded one for the past couple of months, so it's nice to be untethered. As for the puppy, I'm not completely sure if we will be able to get him. We will need a little time in San Berdoo to figure out how much time we are really going to be able to dedicate to taking care of the little guy. He's been through enough already and he deserves to be with a family who can give him all the love and attention he needs, I just really hope that family can be ours. I've been dying to have a dog for so long and this one seems just made for us, so I really hope it will work out.

That's progress for now. I've been lazy and haven't done much packing. Just waiting waiting waiting until we get out of here.
