Sapped

What a day. I didn't get anything done as far as packing. Blah. I'm not sure, but I think Romeo had one of those days too.

First Steps

Shaun and I are both bouncing between feeling excited to go, sad to leave, and anxious about the future. Now that we're sure we will really be doing this huge move, I'm trying to focus on the excited part. Change is good, right? I'm looking forward to meeting new, like minded people and exploring all the state parks. Who knows, we could end up with cool characters for neighbors.

I've been thinking ahead to what I'm going to miss the most here and after doing some research, I've managed to reassure myself that there will be health food stores, PLENTY of outdoor places to hike and explore, interesting indie shops, good libraries, good music, and animal shelters to volunteer at, in Denver. I think I'm going to love living near mountains. Yep, I'm definitely on excited mode right now. Feeling impatient, I can't sit still. Going to spend the next few days collecting boxes and starting to empty closets. Wheeee.

Gardening!

Planting my organic heritage tomatoes tomorrow, plus the bok choy, lettuces, and spinach I started sprouting inside back in March.  Poor little plants are way too big for the window sill anymore. Plus, I somehow managed to keep two sweet pepper plants that Mom gave me alive all this past winter and spring IN POTS! Hopefully, we won't be moving before I get to enjoy the fruits of my labor.
