No more beach soon (8 days)

No doubt I will miss the sea air and gloomy June overcast days and waking up and rolling out to the balcony to see a tiny ocean view (heaven forbid I should actually walk down to the beach) I'm sure if I was a skinny little thing craving skin cancer I would be down there every day. It's just not my thang.

I think I'll be okay with the BIG SKY & 20x's better air quality and the ass kickin wind in my new city.

I will always be forever gratefull for the wonderful friendships I have in Cali. and comfort myself with the fact that it's only $115.00 one way airfare home for a visit. First scheduled visit is ummmmm in July 2007 .

Yeah.. it's starting to sink in that I'm moving to a different planet. Nothing but adventure ahead!!!! YeeeeeeeeHaaaa! (scary)

Update: 3 boxes packed and ready to go and we've decided on adding a Bull to the invisable farm his name will be Dozer. Bull Dozer
