i changed my desktop background to a photo i took of the grand tetons the last time i was driving through wyoming. we should be passing that way again in about 10 days.

it is neat because the last time we were there was on our way to british columbia, and sun was so little & everything was so different. and this time he is SIX! which seems like a great age for a road trip. i know that i remember things from that time period, (which included a summer road trip, in fact, now that i think about it. hm, i see a pattern here.)

anyway, i wonder what jackson hole will look like at this time of year.

and it will be neat to do the whole classic 'heading west' routine. there is a lot of history in getting over those rocky mountains, in our modern day conastoga.

tonight was the last night at my job at the restaraunt that i worked at for the past 2.5 years. those people were like family to me. i cried a whole bunch on the way home.

and then i felt better.

i am starting to get really excited about this move. hopefully, i can keep the excitement up & the anxiety at bay LOL.

I cried on the way home from work tonight...

My mom & my gramps are driving out of town early tomorrow morning, and another whirlwind visit is over. It was intense, as always, but with a bit of perserverance & a whole lot of love, we made it through.


Now I can start to think about moving again.

This past week has required so much of my attention, that I haven't been able to put much energy into the move. Luckily, we have done so much packing & whatnot already. We leave in about 2 weeks. This is the countdown.

I have one more week at work- and a very intense week it is. I have tomorrow off, thank goodness, as I need a moment to recuperate before jumping into the fracas. This weekend is Easter, and the restaraunt is expecting at least 700. I know I will be plum tuckered out by the time that day is over. I am also working Wednesday throught Saturday, having picked up a crab legs shift on Friday. And so, I am ending my Mustard Seed adventure with a bang!

Tonight was pretty busy as well, and included an 8 top consisting of my family. I also had a trainee, which was fun, although it did complicate matters a wee bit.

On that note, I need to get out of my head & into my body & relax in a nice hot bath. Mateo went out, leaving me some time to listen to a bit of quiet, and get grounded & centered again.
