Being productive!

Well, so far we are being really productive! Today I faxed the official employment paperwork to Ocean Associates (health/life insurance and tax information etc.) and we got Roxy's bloodwork done for the rabies test and sent that off to Kansas State University for testing. We also bought a set of pots and pans from Bed Bath & Beyond because we figured it would be cheaper to buy them here and ship them with the rest of our stuff, rather than buying them in Honolulu. So now we have basically everything we need.

Other than Roxy's quarantine process, the biggest headache in all of this has been trying to find affordable housing online- which is virtually impossible considering we can't view the apartments we're looking at! I guess I just have to accept the fact that we won't be able to find a place before we actually get out there. I mean, as much as I just want to jump the gun and get a place secured- basically everyone I've talked to has advised me to just go out and look for a week. The next step is deciding on a moving company and figuring how much stuff we are going to take over so that we can get an accurate moving quote. Problem is, we don't really know how big our place is going to be- which is going to dictate how much stuff we can actually take.

On another note, I've been feeling very tired the last few days. I think I'll blame it on all the excitement (and to be honest- all the stress) plus all the celebrating (resulting in eating a lot of badness) and lack of exercise. Put it all together and you have one very exhausted Chelsey... especially since I've been used to doing a lot of nothing for the last 7 months!

It still feels very surreal. Because I've been so wrapped up in the "business" of moving, I sometimes forget WHERE and WHY I'm moving. I still can't believe it. Tomorrow we plan on getting the car professionaly detailed so that we can take some pictures and get it listed on the internet to sell. I wish I could take it over with me, but unfortunately I can't afford it. We'll also be continually working on figuring out how much stuff we will be taking so that we can get a moving company set up as soon as possible.

That's it for now!!
