I Hate Packing...

We finally have started packing our bags for Japan today. We're just a few days or so away from leaving now! I can't believe how much work still needs to be done. We still have so much stuff to put in to boxes and organize. O.O We also still have to sell the furniture that we aren't taking with us and donate our clothes that we don't use anymore to the Goodwill and Battered Women's Shelter. It's kind of stressful for both my husband and I thinking about all of the things we need to do still... You would think that we both would be used to it since we both have moved quite a few times in our lives, but no. Packing never does seem to get any easier or less tiring no matter how many times you've done it before.

It's not like we have to pack everything on our own, though. On the 1st, the movers will be here and will be helping us out with that. That will definitely make things a lot easier on us, but at the same time, I can't help but feel a little paranoid over having them handling our stuff. >.> My main concern is having one of them steal something valuable from us. Apparently, it isn't an uncommon occurrence... Kind of crazy that people who are supposed to be professional and are being hired to help would do that, right?  I'm really hoping that  doesn't happen and that I'm just worrying too much like I always do. It's amazing that my blood pressure isn't ungodly high and my skin isn't breaking out like mad what with my constant worrying... -_-

The good thing about packing though is that it gives you a chance to get rid of a bunch of junk that you didn't even realize you were storing! There was so much that we landed up throwing away! If anything, that will help lighten our load significantly! ^.^ Also, I'm a bit proud of myself for being able to squeeze 14 different outfits, 4 pairs of pajamas, 3 pairs of shoes, all my makeup, my hair products and styling tools, accessories, razors, perfume, and skin care products all into one luggage bag! The best part is that it's all under the weight limit, too! <3 My bag weighs in at 37 pounds~! I know it may not seem all that exciting, but I'll have to be living off of the stuff only in that bag for about a month or more as soon as the movers come, since everything else will be shipped to our new address and most likely won't arrive there for quite some time.

 I would never have thought it would take so long just for us to get our belongings over there. Even our pets will have to be kept somewhere for a few weeks before they'll be at home with us... I really hate that they won't be with us for such a long time. :(  I hope that wherever they land up during that period of time, that they'll be well taken care of.... Ugh.... There I go with the worrying again. I can't seem to just relax because there's just so much going on. I can't wait until all of this is done with already!

He's Coming Home~!

My hubby is going to be back home in just a few hours~! ^_^ I've been spending most of the day cleaning the house, getting dolled up, and cooking. @_@ It's such tiring work! I'm still not done, too. Right now I'm working on baking a cake to celebrate and to welcome him back home. :3 I want to make sure that he's really happy to be back and that tonight will go perfectly. ^.^

Hehe~! In a way, it almost feels like he and I are dating again right now. I remember how I would do everything I could to look my best, make sure I had everything ready, and waiting at home anxiously for him to come and pick me up. I seem to be doing the exact same thing at this moment. xD It's kind of exciting, to be honest. :) It's been awhile since I've been this eager just to see him... I've missed him so much.... I've decided that as soon as he steps through the door, I'm going to slather him in kisses! Lols!

Anyways, I really should get back to the preparations now.  I can go on and on about how elated I am over the fact that he'll be here shortly and how much I love and miss him, but I'll spare you readers the torture. :P Bye bye~!

It's Getting Easier....

Being alone, that is. It's been almost a week since my husband left for Florida, and I've been getting used to being here with no one else around. In a way, I kind of enjoy doing everything at my own pace and only worrying about my own mess to clean up and feeding myself. It's like a little vacation for me! xD Not to say that I don't miss him anymore, because I do, but being able to have time for the things I want to do is great! I really love being able to go out without having to worry about getting back early to start cooking dinner and to be able to greet my husband home from work.

I guess choosing to stay at home turned out to be good for me, in a way. I feel like I've gained some independence. I had never been left alone before, at least not for too long. I've always had someone around that I could depend on if I ever needed something or if I was scared... I found out that that was part of the reason why I was worried about my husband going to Florida without me. I realize now that I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself and don't need to rely on others so much. I needed to find that out, otherwise, I would probably be depending on others my entire life. What kind of life would that be?

Haha, well, look at me, 20 going on 21 and I'm still maturing! I feel like there's still a long way to go for me. I still feel like I have so much to learn about becoming an independent adult and that I'm still like a kid. Well, I'll just take things one step at a time. I guess people weren't kidding when they getting older is rough. o.o
