T minus 25 days

We've been lucky enough to secure tenants again this summer, so in 25 days, we will hitch up the trailer and make our way back to the mountains! I'm currently in that uncomfortable limbo, where everywhere I look I see things that need to be done (as in, packing, mostly), but I can't do them for another few weeks, and it's making me restless and cranky. So, you know, basically perfectly normal.

Hopefully, this summer won't have as many bumps in the road trip as we had last year. I feel like we learned a lot from our mistakes... hopefully. Unfortunately I still have not learned to guide the truck and trailer very well, so we may come home unable to look at or speak to each other again. We'll see.

I'm running my very first 5k this month, the Diva Dash, with Erin. I'm really looking forward to it. All but the running part, that is. I am an awful, awful runner, despite my best (and by best I mean incredibly half assed) attempts, and it's going to suck because Erin runs like 6 miles every day, and she has a friend also doing it and is determined to beat the friends time. I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up running alone. It's probably for the best.
I'm really looking forward to having my menfolk meet me at the finish line, though, because I know they will tell me a lot of times that I'm awesome and how proud of me they are. They will do this because I keep reminding them that they have to. And then they will take me to get cheeseburgers and beers, and let me sleep for the rest of the day. It's going to be great.




I've climbed once since my last post. Let's just say that it wasn't as humiliating as expected. The first few weeks in Flagstaff are going to be rough... I'm going to get so much knitting done, though!
