"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore.
Dream.
Discover."
~Mark Twain

The Calm Before the Storm

This past week was a lazy one for me. As usual, the first couple days of freedom were wonderful, but by day three, I was ready to be busy again. I'm glad to have my temp job behind me, and Greg will soon be finished as well. I know the time we have remaining in our apartment is going to chip away rapidly, yet I can't quite shake the lack of urgency hovering within our small abode. We could start packing. We could book our movers. We could book the rest of our hotels for our trip across the States. But we haven't.

Once the pressure hits me, I'll realize I could have prepared for the cramped, stressed days by starting earlier. I won't feel as if I'm running to keep up through a whirlwind of packing, loading, and moving. To top it off, we will be going to San Francisco for a few days to attend Jenn's beautiful wedding and squeezing in a few days on Lake Shasta. Amidst the craze of business, we will have to give good-byes, which I hate. Therefore, I have created this blog, so I (and Greg) can maintain an easy communication thread to those we love.

38 days until our NY adventure begins!
