Moving Boxes

If it wasn’t already, it’s now official; I signed the contract on Tuesday, and my plane ticket has been purchased! I fly out of Yakima on July 17th. There’s a bunch of other paperwork and stuff to do in the meantime, and I know the next several weeks are going to fly by fast.

I’m planning on moving back to Washington to visit with family from early June to mid-July, so not only am I planning a move to the island but I’m planning a brief move to Washington. I have to sort through all my stuff to figure out what I want to bring with me to Kwaj, what I want to store in Washington, and what I want to sell or get rid of. I don’t plan on bringing a lot with me to the island.

Today I got some moving boxes. I have lived in Norman for five years, and have many good memories and friends here. I am sad to leave, but am looking forward to the next chapter of my life and am excited to see what it brings.

On a side note, in the midst of all this craziness, I am going back to Florida this weekend to try to watch Endeavour’s launch again! Check out the space shuttle category of my other blog for news on my recent epic road trip down there. I was randomly chosen to go to a NASA Tweetup and hear from astronauts, scientists, etc. and watch the launch from the press site. The launch was delayed, but we were invited back to watch it on Monday. Here’s to hoping for a smooth launch this time!
