Hello! Sorry I have let an entire week slip by!
I officially got the key to my new apartment yesterday, so I have been on a packing/cleaning/organizing frenzy the past few days. There is still so much to do, but I expect to be all moved in by the weekend's end! My roommate (aka "Wife") has asked her brother to help me out with moving my bed on Saturday, so that's the last big thing. Now just waiting on my living room furniture to arrive. I also just ordered bedroom furniture today. Everything is coming together and alas, it finally feels close until Shane comes home! 37 days until he leaves Afghanistan (tentatively), up to another week for him to make it home, but shit- that is nothing! I'll be pretty preoccupied with putting our place together the next month anyway. As of right now, there are just piles of crap everywhere and I have lots to accomplish. Moving updates to come. Pictures too!
So, remember a couple of weeks ago when I went to that Social D show and mentioned my love for that English acoustic folk-punk guy Frank Turner? Well, I got to interview him today for Define The Meaning. I hadn't been that nervous for an interview in a very long time. I escaped from work for 20 minutes to call Frank from my car to do the interview...seriously. Not the first time I conducted an interview in my car. I think it was July that I talked to Dave Lombardo of Slayer in my banana car too. Oh man, interviewing rock stars in my ridiculous yellow car keeps life interesting for sure. Ah but yes, Frank's eloquent English accent had me dying a little. The story will be up tomorrow, so I will provide a link!
So, moving the rest of the week and getting it all together over the next month is going to consume me but I wouldn't have it any other way! Shane will be home soon! I'm sorry in advance to family and friends for being MIA for some time. I even missed my usual phone date with my grandma today I've been so crazy :-( Sorry Mommom!
In totally awesome news, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is in town here in Central Texas, building a home for a soldier named Patrick Ziegler wounded in the Nov. 5th shooting last year. I have been following the blog of the soldier's fiance, Jessica Hansen, for the past few months, and found out they were selected by the show yesterday. You can check out Jessica's blog under my profile. It's the one called "Turning Tragedy Into a Love Story." I am so excited for this soldier and his fiance. The couple is returning to see their new home on Sunday afternoon, and I plan on making the 15 minute drive down to check it out! And undoubtedly cry like a baby. That show has always made me cry. But, being able to see it in person, and the fact that it's for a soldier impacted by the Fort Hood shooting is going to make me need a whole box of tissues. Ah! So happy about this, it's awesome.
Okay must get sleep! I am running on empty and have to be up extra early tomorrow to drop off more things at my new place before work!
15 minutes until it's 36 days :-)
