I'm Leaving (Not) On A Jetplane!

And so it goes... Tomorrow I leave for my five-day break from the norm. Can I call it vacation? Probably not. Do I get to see a bunch of friends and learn a bunch of cool stuff about programs, leadership and resources within the church? Absolutely. Am I super duper excited about that? You bet. Will it be good to get away from here for a while? You know it will be. But getting to this point and getting ready to go has been super, super stressful.

I'm behind where I wanted to be on school (because I thought I could get everything but replies done for this week) before I left. I'm not behind, behind. I'll just have to work on school every night while I'm there... Unless I plan to stay up another five or six hours, which I don't plan to do. Although when I went in to do my math tonight, I was relieved that we've moved on to much easier stuff that makes tons more sense to me. I was having a hard time focusing on Sunday night and I'm kicking myself for it tonight. I finally have everything packed except the sweater that hang dries... Remind me again why I buy so many sweaters, since they all hang or flat dry?! And I needed to find and buy a brown shirt tonight. Let me tell you... Don't bother. They don't make brown shirts in the spring. You'll never find one.

Oh... And to top it all off, I'm pretty sure I'm coming down with something. Joy.

I'm so exhausted and so ready to have dinner with Bubba and Jeremy tomorrow night and then get out of here. It will be good to see Jer and his family this weekend, to spend time with Jenn, to get to know some of our church members better and to celebrate Joe and Inez' wedding on Saturday. But mostly it will be good to sleep. To get away from work and Greeley and all of it and just have a good time. That's what I'm most excited about. And to think... I come back on Sunday and do it all over again to go to sales meeting next weekend. That will be SO. MUCH. FUN.

NOT.

And anyone who knows me well knows how I love my shoes... I'm only taking two pair.
