SoCal to the NW

It's official. Mom & Dads house is in escrow. We close in less than 30 days (approx Apr 1), and since my house in Seattle won't be done in time, we're going to have to rent, or squat, or something for at least a month - maybe two.

Wow wow wubzy! We're really leaving CA and we're really moving to the Pacific NW. I've only been waiting about a decade for this moment to happen, and now it's finally here. WTF?

• Yes, I'm actually kinda scared. What if I'm making a mistake? What if I fail?
  
• I'm also kinda freaking out about how I'll manage to get everything packed up & ready for our move in less than 4 weeks.
• I have NO idea where all our stuff will reside while we're "homeless"... Storage unit? Pod unit? Garage rental? Halp!
  
• I have a MILLION things to do before we go... doctors, lawyers, Goodwill donations, tearful goodbyes, bank accounts, address change notices, etc.
• Holy crap! Speaking of tearful goodbyes... I'm going to miss my friends & family SO much!

But dudes? Seriously. I'm also really excited.

More travel

Leaving for Seattle on Monday for a week. Just vacation this time. No agenda. No set plans.

Going back to Austin in early April for a month... going to get a feel for the city by renting a place in South Austin. Shop, eat, sleep, walk, look at houses, etc. It'll be much easier to find My House if I'm there.

And jetBlue will begin flying direct from Long Beach to Austin beginning May 1st which means I can get back and forth easier, which means I can visit dad more often. Also, beginning May 21 they will fly directly between Seattle and Long Beach too. Yay jetBlue!

Shower time. Jeremy is coming to visit today thru Saturday. We're all going to the LB Aquarium tomorrow. Should be fun, haven't been there in a long while and I think Declan will enjoy all the fishies.

The end.
