home again home again
Well, I packed & moved my little self (wishitweretrue) out of my apartment in 4 days. I did it all by myself, too! "I'm a strong independant woman" (well not really. my mom watched my kids and my dad's workers moved all the big stuff) But it was weird not being able to rely on Steven for things I usually leave to him. Like taking the bed apart. I dont ever pay attention to those things because Steven gets them done. So instead of realizing there are metal slots the boards can just slide out of, I thought everything had to be unscrewed and sat there for an hour trying to unscrew them resulting in stripping the screws, I drove back to my moms to get a drill to get those stubborn things out. Only to drive up and have my dad's employee tell me he just slid it out of the brackety thing. What would I do without Steven? Well, things like that I guess. It was almost empowering.My friend told me a quote "5 minutes of organization saves you an hour of frustration" well it can be applied to me like this "5 minutes of using your brain can save you an hour of ..whatever!"
Anyways, I am here at my parents house for only 3 weeks before I go join Steven (who left a week ago) in Oklahoma City. I have mixed feelings right now. I think any other time in my life I would be so insanely excited to get the h out of AZ for the summer. But I've made amazing friends here these past few months. And Amy leaves for Hawaii in July and I wont see her for 3 years! Paka will be 7, Averie will be almost 5? and there will be many other baby Owan geniuses out there I wont know yet! Nicole has come up with a way cool idea for us to stay connected during the summer and so on. It's the biggest idea since lightbulbs really, just you wait and see. I am sad to not stay until Amy & Nicole leave in July. I hope your pool days are lame when I leave, okay?.. and girls nights are empty. just kidding. (...and it's contaaaaaaaaagious! wow, i really gotta go to bed) can you tell this is late night blogging?

Just have fun being in a new place. Its only for a little while right? I feel like I've lost contact with the world since my Korea days. Its slowly coming to an end though :) Back to the USA! You'll have fun, and new places are always an adventure. Sometimes its lame being away from family and friends, but they will always be there when you get back. Thats what I tell myself anyways to get through being away. Oh and Salena, didnt i declare the word Hell a non bad word?? No more of this H stuff missy. Jump on my hell train!
Well I'm glad your coming back! Oklahoma should be fun for a few months.
and i promised you a new, amazing, yet not too amazing screwdriver- sorry to have forgotten!
Moving away has been bitter/sweet for us, too. Miss everyone back home, but love it here & will miss all the awesome friends we've made here. You shouldn't worry a bit though...you're the type of person everyone loves.
My brother David & his wife might be moving to Oklahoma within the next year, too!
