I move to Omaha in the morning- WHAT?! I have no idea how this happened. Training flew by and I honestly don't even remember really packing for today. I had the chance to say goodbye to almost all of my best friends in the past 24 hours and am so blessed with their support. This week has been a little rough with my anxiety about moving and starting a whole new adventure. Everyone has asked me to either call when I get there or to set up a Skype date (btw my skype name is brok0030).
Currently, my mattress is folded in half in the backseat of my 94 Buick Century and my box spring managed to fit into my dad's car also. Who puts a mattress folded up in the back of their car? Only the Brokaws. All vehicles traveling to Omaha are completely stuffed. Absolutely no room for anything extra. Thankfully, one of my friends from high school is currently living in Des Moines and her parents are coming to visit her this weekend. They were gracious enough to take my random non-essentials: sewing machine, knitting supplies, a mirror, a painting and a shelf. I'm definitely learning how to live on less each time I move around and I keep remembering how different things were in 2007 when I moved into my first dorm room at Morris. That summer, I worked to make sure I was set and ready for moving away to college and probably bought a bunch of random junk I didn't need. This time around, I'm trying to lose as much stuff as possible.
My family is planning on driving to Omaha, moving me in and then driving back- all in one day. Kind of crazy if you ask me, but if they want to drive for over 13 hours then that's their prerogative. Sorry for the short posting, tired and need to get to bed for the big move in the morning!
