Aloha Family and Friends!
Yesterday and today have been bitter-sweet. While I am so excited to start my trek out to Denver, it's sad to say goodbye to all the things and people that have been with me the last 5 years. SLO has been so freaking good to me, it's just hard to say goodbye- even if it's temporary. Living in this house for 3 years means that I have crap EVERYWHERE. I'm so thankful that Mark and Joanne graciously gave up their Sunday to drive down and help me pack up the house. Joanne, was Mrs. Prepared with boxes, labels (with ~kaleena~ on them) for the boxes, labels for different piles of boxes, packing tape, and she of course brought her handiest tool: Mr. "Yes'm". Needless to say I would be useless without their help!
Today consisted of working at Zoo Camp and moving into my friend Becky's house (soccer alumni). She has kindly allowed me to pack all of my belongings into her garage while I'm gone. I had the Xterra packed to the brim and moved majority of my things. All that is really left are some clothes and my furniture. That I'll leave for tomorrow. I've, surprisingly, managed to put most of my ducks in a row. For once in my life I'm not procrastinating and I got all the important things taken care of! It's still shocking that I graduated from college without missing turning in a paper/project.
Since I got most of the hard stuff done, tomorrow I'll be trying to surf for the last time for 3.5 months :( I will certainly miss the smell of the Pacific.The beach has always felt like home, and I've never been more than 20 minutes from the sand, so Denver will certainly be a challenge. The rest of the day will include tying up some loose ends and moving out of the house completely. Wednesday I have work 8:30am-3pm then the Goodbye/Happy Birthday Whitney dinner with all of our friends at 7pm. Should be a blast! Of course we're headed to SUMO for sushi, sake bombs, and shenanigans.
Thursday: Goodbye San Luis Obispo. Drive to LA for lunch with Aunt Carol, then dinner and REI with Dad.
Until next time, Kompai!
