My Life

Hey everyone,
Just got home from work so i have decided to post here.
So... this morning was a VERY hard morning. I had to say goodbye to my dad. It was quite hard but I know he's off to a better job so that helps. I never cried about this moving thing until about 9am. All my dad had to say was "Well..." and then came the waterworks. I hope he's doin' alright.
My mom and i spent all day and night yesterday helping him pack and this morning at like 7 or so we helped him load up that last of his things and get the trailor on the back of the truck. I was the one who helped him get his car on the trailor... and boy was that a task. We had to try about 4 times to get it straight on so he could secure it properly but we finally did it. And while he was trying to position it correctly all i could think of was how there will be no more "Ellyn, your dad's here!" at work (because everyone knows my dads coming cuz of his car hehe :)). I will surely miss that.
So all in all its been a rough day... and its only 4 o'clock. But hey, I guess i could look at the bright side and think that hes off to a better job. Although he will be living alone in a third-floor apt for about 6 months... I hope he doesn't get too lonely. I LOVE YOU DAD!

hey all,
ok first off... goodbyes suck. and i haven't even said the official goodbye yet. Its 12:30 am on the day that my dad is leaving for Kalamazoo... he'll be gone in a little less than 8 hrs. I spent all day (or yesterday rather lol) packing. packing box after box of all my dads things. pictures, computer stuff, and i gave him my guitar hero game to he can practice so we can battle each other when i see him again. Yep, he's all packed up except for his car... he's towing it behind the moving truck. And he'll be loading it in 6-ish hrs. Man. I never thought this day would actually come. We've been talking/discussing the moving situation for over a year but it is actually happening now. I'm saying goodbye to my dad in less 12 hours and i wont see him for at least 5 months. But hey, i guess i shouldn't be complaining... it could always be worse right?
So heres to you dad. You've always been there for me and always will be. Goodluck out in Kalamazoo for the time that mom and i aren't out there with you and remember I love you.

hey everyone,
after a LOOONG 9 1/2 hr shift at work (but FUNNNN-YYY with erin ;-) - love that girl!) i'm finally home. 2 more days til my dad leaves... so yeah definitely dreading that. We're planning on playing guitar hero 2 tonight (probably for a long time - that game is addicting!) and tomorrow i'm taking him to go get the moving truck and help load everything on it including his car... and then... the dreaded day comes when he has to drive out of our driveway for good. ;-( but i'll enjoy these next 2 days with him. I never knew how much my dad did for me until now, now that he's leaving. I love my dad... <33 And on that note... we're off to play guitar hero...

hello all,
well i guess i'll start by saying how sad i am that my dad's leaving in 2 days for Kalamazoo, MI and we don't know when we'll see him again. The latest will be probably 6 months when my mom and i move out there once i'm done with school... but he may be coming home to visit before then, who knows.
So i'm really REALLY scared to move seeing as Ledyard/Norwich CT is all i've known my whole life... Kalamazoo??? whats out there?? (besides Pfizer and Western Michigan University?) I have no idea lol. I'm not too scared about meeting new people and making friends nor finding a job but hwat scares me the most is going from Avery Point - a college campus where all the classes are in one building - to one that's bigger than the UCONN Storrs campus! Someone in one of my classes last semester told me "you'd better bring some roller blades, a bike or a body made for running to that campus!" (HAHA - yeah real funny.) so... needless to say i'm a bit nervous to switch schools, let alone hometowns, jobs and making new friends.
I guess thats all for now... sorry for the rambling... i'm bored.
