Commence Countdown

I tallied the days left on the calendar until my move to Provo today. There are less days than I thought! The total is less than fifty!! That is not a lot of time to accomplish everything I need to. However, it is not time to panic... yet. That will come when I have two weeks left.

The rental agreement for my apartment arrived today. Signing the agreement will make this real. So far my move has been in the planning and talking stages. I started announcing it soon after I returned from my trip to Utah three weeks ago, but it felt so far into the future. It felt almost as if I was imagining that I would move to Provo. Yet, now it is almost here! There is so much to do before I move: replacing my windshield, packing my life (most of it rather), arranging my finances, finishing my current classes, planning YSA activities.

This is where I must say my two cents about lists. I have a love-hate relationship with lists. I abhor them because I have spent at least the last decade of my life being told to make a list. That is my rebellious nature coming out. However, I have come to recognize the helpfulness of lists over that same decade of my life. I have a list of tasks I need to accomplish in the next 40 days; I have a list for items I need and want to take with me. I think I may even have a list of lists! Boy, do I have a lot to do over the next six weeks!

I have that same relationship with lists... only I abhor them because I can never get everything done on them! The only list that was not only completed but also exceeded in every way was the list of characteristics I was looking for in a husband. So I figure I'm not doing too poorly. :)

Good luck with your big move! I can't wait for you to be down here friend!

Love you!
