The Big Move Looms

Less than two weeks until I leave for Spokane! I am ready. It's been busy and fantastic enjoying all that the Twin Cities has to offer--friends, bike trails, ethnic restaurants, pretty drives, Flugtag, art fairs, amusement parks, lakes, vintage stores, coffee shops, barbecues, ice cream parlors, two great downtowns, art galleries--but, as usual, I'm itching to move on to the next thing. And I guess my life has kind of been heading this direction for the last four years.... I finished college, got a few adventures/travels out of the way, and here I am on the last stretch before GRAD SCHOOL.

I'm especially excited for the next step because Isaac will be there with me. After a lot of thought, we both decided we wanted him to move to Spokane too, and we'll be starting up new lives together there at the beginning of September. At times it bothers me how it might look to other people--my boyfriend following me around--but it's what we both want, and I really think it will be the best thing for us. Finally, after a year of dating (yesterday, officially!), we will live in the same place. We've actually been together less than 5 months, and it's been spread out thinly throughout the 12. Long-distance SUCKS. No more looking on the bright side about it--it's over! Anyway, he will be doing his second year of school at Spokane Community College and then plans to transfer to Gonzaga.

And who knew it was so easy to get to Spokane from here? I take one highway the whole way there. Wow.

Before you move, we should hang out. I'll be at camp all this coming week until Friday, but after that, it would be great to see you!

What excellent news! So exciting--and how wonderful that you and Isaac will finally live near each other. Send me a detail filled letter, please! Love you!

YAY!

And it isn't him "following you around." Not at all. You want to be near each other, so if one is going, the other probably wants to go, too! I'm sure if the situation were reversed you would "follow him around" too. ;)

congrats on a year! And yay for grad school!!

Hurray! I'm so glad the long distance part is over for you guys. It's hard to be apart for long periods of time. Good luck with your move!!
