It's Sunday evening, which means in roughly 35 hours, I'll be in the airport and getting ready to head to Montana. It's strange, because it still almost doesn't seem real to me. This, of course, is rather ridiculous, because as I just mentioned, we are down to an hour countdown! I think it's finally hit me that I'm leaving soon, it just hasn't quite sunk in yet that I will not be coming back for 3 1/2 months! Ah well. I am nearly no longer a teenager. It is time for me to do something off completely on my own for once!
I'm not really sure I have a ton to say today! These past few days have been rather busy but fun. Wednesday I finished up my last final and moved out that night. Odd to be done with two years of college already. Thursday I went downtown (Des Moines) to have lunch with my dad and get a tour of some of the Principle buildings. The buildings were really great looking, and lunch was fun. On Friday I did some shopping and then went to an Iowa Cubs game that night with my dad and my grandparents. I hadn't been to a baseball game in quite awhile, so it was nice to do so again. The weather held out for us and the I-Cubs even won (in one of the fastest games I've ever seen!). My grandpa even got a foulball (it bounced off some guy's hands and literally landed in his lap). Finders keepers. :P
Yesterday was a crazy day. Helped out with some major house cleaning, then headed up to Ames for my brother's college graduation (Congrats again Andy!). After that we headed back to our house in Ankeny for a little party. Two of my dad's brothers and their families were there, along with my dad's grandparents, my brother's fiance, her parents and one of her sisters. My dad grilled out and my mom made tons of delicious desserts (3 pies and one sheet of brownies!). It was a full house for sure, and I think a good time was had by all.
Today was just spent doing some more shopping. This afternoon my grandparents, parents and I went to see the movie "The Visitor." Very good film, but rather sad and depressing as well. Even moreso when you realize things like that are happening to people everyday in the U.S.
Anyway, I think that's about all I have to say! Check back later and I'll try to add some pictures from the I-Cubs game and graduation. This will be my last post before I leave, and therefore I'm not sure when I'll be able to update again! If you'd like the address of where I'll be at, talk to my parents.
Until next time....
